Watchmen creator Alan Moore has made his feelings clear about the recent HBO adaptation of his 1980s graphic novel, saying it’s “embarrassing” to be associated with the show.Speaking to GQ, Moore revealed that, in a letter sent to him ahead of production, series showrunner Damon Lindelof admitted to “destroying” his source material in order to bring it to the small screen.Moore said: “[I received] a frank letter from the showrunner of the Watchmen television adaptation, which I hadn’t heard was a thing at that point. But the letter, I think it opened with, ‘Dear Mr.
Moore, I am one of the bastards currently destroying Watchmen.’ That wasn’t the best opener.“[The letter] went on through a lot of, what seemed to me to be, neurotic rambling, ‘Can you at least tell us how to pronounce ‘Ozymandias’?’“I got back with a very abrupt and probably hostile reply telling him that I’d thought that Warner Brothers were aware that they, nor any of their employees, shouldn’t contact me again for any reason.”Moore continued: “I explained that I had disowned the work in question, and partly that was because the film industry and the comics industry seemed to have created things that had nothing to do with my work, but which would be associated with it in the public mind.“I said, ‘Look, this is embarrassing to me. I don’t want anything to do with you or your show.
Please don’t bother me again.’”Moore went on to say that he “would be the last person to want to sit through any adaptations of my work. From what I’ve heard of them, it would be enormously punishing.
