According to 'X-Men: The Last Stand' composer John Powell's MySpace blog, he is in the early stages of piecing together his score for the upcoming Warner Brothers adaptation of Alan Moore's 'Watchmen':

The second project [I'm currently working on] is still in preliminary stages. It is entitled The Watchmen, based off the famous graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. No release date has been set for the film, but I'll be sure to update you if you're terribly curious...I am working on the next Bourne score, for the record. Filming for the movie hasn't quite begun yet, but, like the Watchmen, I've begun to scribble a few things down.

Powell did not mention who is currently in place to direct the adaptation, as 'Bourne' director Paul Greengrass no longer seems to be attached, although 'Dawn of the Dead' director Zack Snyder is still the rumored frontrunner.
