Alan Moore on HBO’s WATCHMEN series and says he told Damon Lindelof never to bother him again

It is a known fact that Alan Moore he is not a Hollywood fan and despises his comic book adaptations. This hasn’t stopped Guardians showrunner of the series Damon Lindelof from reaching it! Lindelof wrote him a letter and asked him a few questions, and Moore told him never to bother him again.

Lindelof would reveal that he was “absolutely convinced” that Moore had “a magical curse placed on him”. Moore himself shared the story in an interview with GQ saying the letter began: “Dear Mr. Moore, I’m one of the bastards who are currently destroying sentries,“something he said” was not the best forerunner “.

Moore added, “He went through a lot of, what seemed to me to be, neurotic digressions. ‘Can you at least tell us how to pronounce’ Ozymandias ‘?’ I came back with a very curt and probably hostile response telling him that I had thought Warner Brothers was aware that they, nor any of their employees, should not contact me again for any reason. I explained that I had disavowed the job in question, and partly because the film industry and the comic book industry seemed to have created things that had nothing to do with my work, but that would have been associated with it in the mind of the audience. I said, ‘Look, it’s embarrassing to me. I don’t want anything to do with you or your show. Please don’t bother me again. ‘”

As for the Guardians series, about winning an Emmy for Best Limited Series, said, “When I saw the television industry awards that the Watchmen TV show had apparently won, I thought, ‘Oh, god, maybe a big chunk of the audience, that’s what they think Guardians was?’ They think it was a dark, gritty, dystopian superhero franchise that had something to do with white supremacism. They didn’t understand Guardians? Guardians it was almost 40 years ago and it was relatively simple compared to many of my later works. What are the chances that they have understood something since then? This tends to make me feel less than fond of those jobs. They mean a little less in my heart. “

Moore retired from writing in the middle of comics, making his latest published workThe League of Extraordinary Lords. He just wants to be left alone now. I’m surprised GQ managed to get an interview with him!
