John Cusack told MTV that he wants Zack Snyder to cast him in his upcoming comic book adaptation, "Watchmen":

MTV: You can't Google your name without getting a hit for "Watchmen." Everyone wants you to be in this movie.

Cusack: I'm in. Talk to Zack [Snyder].

MTV: Have you read the comic?

Cusack: Yeah, I actually love the comic. Maybe this is how people get jobs in the modern world. Like, I come on MTV and then he'll see it and give it to me.

MTV: Are you familiar with the character of Nite Owl?

Cusack: There's that guy and then there's Rorschach, right? I like that. I like that stuff.

MTV: Would you prefer to play Rorschach or Nite Owl?

Cusack: I haven't read the script nor have I ever met Mr. Snyder. I thought that was a really, really cool comic. I'm into it. But, you know, we have to talk to Zack's representatives. What studio is doing the film?

MTV: Warner Bros.

Cusack: See, who knows. Warner Bros. might want Ashton Kutcher.

MTV: I don't think that would work. John Cusack would work.

Cusack: Welcome to my world.
