The Watchmen Movie gets Cancelled

According to Variety, The Watchmen has been cancelled. No surprise since Paramount has been fighting to bring the budget down for some time. The producers and director have now taken the film and are shopping it to other studios.. so technically its not dead, its just dead at Paramont.

The Watchmen is about the paranoid delusions of a half-insane hero called Rorschach. But is Rorschach really insane or has he in fact uncovered a plot to murder super-heroes and, even worse, millions of innocent civilians? On the run from the law, Rorschach reunites with his former teammates in a desperate attempt to save the world and their lives, but what they uncover will shock them to their very core and change the face of the planet!

Following two generations of masked superheroes from the close of World War II to the icy shadow of the Cold War comes this groundbreaking comic story — the story of The Watchmen.
