“V for Vendetta” director James McTeigue wants to tackle another Alan Moore work – “Watchmen.” In an interview with IESB.net at the recent New York Comic-Con, McTeigue expressed interest in directing the adaptation, which has been in development hell for years.

Last we heard, Paramount dropped the project about a year ago. Paul Greengrass was on board to direct, Lloyd Levin and Larry Gordon were producing, and David Hayter had written the script.

It’s not known if McTeigue is even being considered for the job, but if “V for Vendetta” rakes in the cash at the box office, we might just see a “Watchmen” movie directed by McTeigue soon.

We’ll keep you posted!
