It's the director of Dawn of the Dead, which doesn't inspire much confidence, but he's also the director of 300, a comicbook adaptation coming out soon that I've heard a lot of good things about.

Watchmen is the script that just keeps getting resurrected. Keeps those script necromancers in business. Well, Watchmen, Law & Order, and the Simpsons.

Well, Superman Returns went through a few years of directors and other little squabbles. At least until the entire generation of Reeves' died, then it seems like things just went up from there.

Maybe another two or three years until we see Watchmen on the big screen.

Spider-Man, too, had many problems before Raimi got his beautiful hands on it.
