Meet The WATCHMEN!!

Merrick here...

Official casting news re: WATCHMEN is trickling in...





Jackie Earle Haley is Walter Kovacs / Rorschach





Billy Crudup is Dr. Manhattan





Malin Akerman is Juspeczyk / The Silk Spectre





Matthew Goode is Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias





Patrick Wilson is Nite Owl





Jeffrey Dean Morgan will play The Comedian



More details HERE.

Kind of hard to believe this is FINALLY happening. Frankly, I've been expecting it to derail every step of the way. It's a friggin rush to see it's actually, truly in motion.
