My Chemical Romance are set to cover Bob Dylan for the soundtrack to the upcoming Watchmen movie.
Band frontman Gerard Way is an outspoken fan of the superhero comics on which the film is based and contacted its director Zakk Snyder asking if he could be involved.
Snyder, who has previously directed the movie epic 300, said of Gerard: “He's a super-great guy, and an awesome musician, and so we’re trying to work with them right now to put together possibly a song for the end titles.”
The director continued that one of the possible covers is of 'Desolation Row', the 11 minute closing track to Dylan's 1965 album 'Highway 61 Revisited.'
Asked by MTV whether he's heard the material MCR have recorded so far, Snyder enthused: “I’ve talked with him and I’ve heard a little bit of some stuff that’s he’s done and it’s pretty freaking cool.”
Watchmen is slated for release in Spring 2009 and is set to be one of the blockbusters of the year.

- I agree, the point of a cover is almost never to do a better job than the original artist but just to show a unique interpretation. I love My Chem and I love Dyaln they are all very talented musicians so it\'ll be interesting to see what comes out of this
- this is absolutely appalling and offensive to the idea of music itself.
- That is so awesome, but why does it have to be in the end credits...it should be in the beginning when the movie starts or something.
- He's so cute *--*
