"In 2001, just over a month after the devastating terrorist attacks of 9/11, Universal Studios hooked up with Gordon to bring Watchmen to the screen. Writer David Hayter, the voice of Metal Gear's Solid Snake and writer of X-Men, was signed to adapt the script. Hayter wrote a 134-page screenplay which Moore once called "as close as I could imagine anyone getting to Watchmen." Gordon's co-producer Lloyd Levin also deemed it "a great adaptation ... that absolutely celebrates the book." Hayter began talks with the studio about making his directing debut with Watchmen, but ultimately passed on that opportunity due to irresolvable creative differences.
"It is definitely disappointing not to be able to direct the film, but we got into our second studio deal and it became increasingly clear that I was going to continue to have trouble getting the film made the way those of us who are fans know it must be made, until I gained more weight as a director," Hayter said."
