According to Rotten Tomatoes:
"Many people who didn't care for the rest of Watchmen seem to agree that the opening credits that depicted the early days of masked hero adventures were the best part of the movie. And so, Warner Bros is moving ahead with plans to develop Minutemen, a prequel that will expand upon the hints found in the Alan Moore graphic novel and the movie about what the original generation of heroes were up to. The movie will be set before most of the characters in Watchmen got their starts, but Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Carla Gugino are expected to reprise their roles as the Comedian and the original Silk Spectre. However, for the rest of the Minutemen, who were played by stuntmen and unknowns in Watchmen, entirely new casting is expected. I'm hearing that for the role of the beefy muscle man, Hooded Justice, the producers are considering WWE wrestler The Big Show, while other possibilities are Paul Giamatti as Moth Man (the future mental patient), Aaron Eckhart as Captain Metropolis and Chris Klein (American Pie) as the likeable but doomed caped hero Dollar Bill."
I am really on the fence about this, on one hand it'll be cool to see a minutemen movie and the potential cast (excluding Big Show) seems pretty good. On the other hand I really think Watchmen was enough.
