Pilot ShowsUpdate: Per Deadline, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (The Get Down, The Greatest Showman, Aquaman) and Sara Vickers (Endeavour) are the latest actors to join HBO's Watchmen adaptation. As usual, there are no character descriptions available.
Per Deadline, Tom Mison (Sleepy Hollow), Frances Fisher (Resurrection, Titanic) and Jacob Ming-Trent (Superfly) have joined the growing cast of Damon Lindelof's Watchmen pilot, HBO's take on the superhero genre and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' limited comic series. The project is not a straightforward adaptation but a brand new story. Also, character details for these 3 new additions are non-existent as per usual.
Set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.
