Pedro Almodóvar

The Spanish auteur surprises Hollywood by agreeing to direct Watchmen and makes a perfectly crafted, emotionally powerful superhero movie, but with one twist: The Watchmen become the Watchwomen, played by the most potent collection of screen divas ever assembled, with Salma Hayek as Rorschach, Penélope Cruz as Nite Owl, Michelle Yeoh as Ozymandias, Julianne Moore as Dr. Manhattan, and Sophia Loren as the Comedienne. Gael García Bernal co-stars, in drag, as Silk Spectre.
