Tom Cruise Is Ozymandias In Zack Snyder’s WATCHMEN?!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Well... no, actually.

But he almost was.

Devin over at CHUD just interviewed Zack Snyder, and it sounds like he got some solid tidbits out of him.

If you’re eager for more news of WATCHMEN, including talk of the film’s rating, head over there now and read the piece. Good stuff.
