I don't know, as fun as it is to kick around casting ideas for The Watchmen, I really worry about what might happen to it. That is one of the most tightly structured books ever, and it is one of my all time favorites. Last time someone took on a favorite book of mine, I wouldn't watch anything of his for 10 years (that being David Lynch's wholesale butchery of Dune.) I liked Terry Gilliam's Idea of making it a very long (like 12 hour) movie split into segments like they did with LOTR. I don't see any other way of making it work.
So I can't make that an anticipated movie. Perhaps a dreaded one.
