Fan Casting Adrian Veidt in David Hayter's Watchmen

The self-proclaimed World's Smartest Man, a self-made billionaire who retired from heroism to build a corporate empire. Beneath his rumpled, unassuming exterior, Adrian has spent years orchestrating the most audacious gambit in human history: a faked alien-like attack that will kill a million people and unite the warring nations of Earth against a common threat. He weeps for his victims but does not regret them. His terrifying, sincere belief that he alone can save the world makes him the film's most complex and tragic figure.
