Guillermo del Toro was Offered Watchmen!

Here is some really interesting news, during an interview with IGN AU uber cool director Guillermo del Toro revealed that he was offered to direct the Watchmen film, but turned it down. Read on to see what he had to say about that, Zack Snyder's trailer and geekgasms.

"You know, at one point or another, Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin asked me if I wanted to do The Watchmen and I just couldn't get my head around The Watchmen being two or three hours long. I always thought that the series depended on almost-miniseries build-up."del Toro did go on to praise the trailer's faithful recreation of the work, however. "I think Zack Snyder is a brilliant visual creator and everything in the trailer seems right - if not completely dead-on. To be absolutely honest, I even got a little bit of a geekgasm."

So what would you guys have thought of a del Toro helmed Watchmen film?
