We're Watching The WATCHMEN!!! Holy Printed Panels!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... been out doing eggy yaaa shopping all day and picking up the latest Batman collection, DEATH AND THE CITY by Paul Dini... and I come home to find WATCHMAN photos waiting for me thanks to Game Trailers and our reader Tim T. If you'd like to see bigger versions - click on the Game Trailers link. And I absolutely suggest it - there's plenty of easter eggs all over those awesome set photos. Love the ad on the side of the newstand! These originated at The Official WATCHMEN Movie Site where you can find out how many square feet of Foam Bricks were used in the making of the New York backlot - and how many donuts the construction workers ate while making it. Damn, I knew I should've gone into construction!

Years and Years and finally first?
-
but who's watching Harry??
-
"I see the world didn't end yesterday"
"Are you sure?"
If that's not in, the movie will suck. -
In the last photo walking in profile.
-
I approve of the attention to detail.
-
Zack should teach a course on how to translate comics to movies. His number one rule, respect the source material.
-
Nice touch to the pic below. My confidence continues to grow
-
...in the last pic. Walking in front of Nixon... that's Rorshach.
-
And "Rorschach". Sorry for the finger slips.
-
Great line, that's always been one of my faves too
-
Suh-weet! I can't wait for this to come out! PLEASE be good!
-
I haven't read the graphic novel, don't know the story at all, but these stills look good. Good composition.
-
I have huge hopes and expectations for this movie. I hope Warner Brothers doesn't do the studio thing and Hollywoodize/Bastardize the story by changing the ending. Keep it as it is!
-
...but I didn't think a faithful adaptation could be made of this material. These glorious photos have (thankfully) given me reason for pause at the very least. That re-elect Nixon pic is torn off the page. Exquisite!Gang, who'd a'thunk we'd be seeing this in live action long before Alzheimer's kicked in and we didn't know any better?!
-
I loved the book. But I just hope for the movie's sake they don't try to do too literal of an adaptation. I think it would be okay to change around or add some things in order to make it play better in movie form.
-
Zack's '300' and 'Dawn of the Dead' are near perfect so I'm holding out hope.
How old would Nixon be now like 100? -
I have to say I'm really glad they are making this look like early 80's New York, not comic book New York. This looks really really cool.
-
Notice the Veidt Sport ad on the side of the bus stop canopy.
I'm so insanely excited for this movie. -
of my balls succumbing to the vacuum of artitic creativity. I'm sorry if you were born in the 80's, things weren't always like this, I swear!
-
These pictures fool me into thinking that's really New York. Excellent, excellent prod. design.
-
I didn't give a fuck about comics, much less superheroes, then a few months ago my friend lent me Watchmen and I thought it was amazing. I'm still not sold on superheroes but I think that's why I liked it. At least I don't make fun of comics anymore. I'm now a couple of chapters into Maus.
-
Don't we spell it Collectibles here in the states?
-
Fuck this POS. Give The Watchmen to someone who's actually made a decent film, not Zack "I love slo-mo and don't understand irony" Snyder. I wish I could have gotten that hour and half of my life back.
-
Probably an intentional 'mistake'
-
Thats' the kind of educasion you get with Nixons public school's. FOUR MORE YEAR'S!They probably spell it "stationary," too.
-
that Production Design is awesome - it's up there with PJ's 1933 New York.
I am more pumped than I already was -
Couldn't they use actual footage of Nixon for this?
Otherwise, this looks great! -
really good. spot on
-
AWESOME!
-
In the Watchmen, he is going on his 4th presidency, i think.
-
Nov 26, 2007 8:53:20 PM CST
Nixon wasn't really president in the 80s guys
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
He just is in the comics, which aren't real. Jesus.
-
Both are correct, the "i" is mostly used in US English. The "a" is used in UK English and by Anglophiles.
-
After reading Absolute Watchmen I was floored. It took me a few months to get back into "conventional" monthly titles because nothing interested me or "came in my brain" the way Watchmen did. I have high hopes!
-
But this doesnt mean the movie is going to be any good. Its just gonna look right.
-
First time I saw the newsstand picture, I figured it out. Zach Snyder has got this one right. And the last pic cemented it. I really can't think of any way these could look better. My faith in this adaptation is waayyy up now. Love the novel, read it many many times. As a huge fan of the source material, any other fan would agree that this basically all hinges on Doc Manhattan, the believability of him, as opposed to the novel where it was easier to digest.
-
Couldn't they have used the footage of him from then? It's not like he went into seclusion or anything.
-
Couldn't you manage a MORE idiotic, nonsensical intro?!
-
too bad the guy playing nite owl isn't overweight or middle aged. WHAT THE FUCK EVER.
-
Let's look at the facts. Stephen Norrington directed "Blade," a slick action packed comic book adaptation completely lacking in subtlety or logic. Zack Snyder directed "300," a slick action packed comic book adaptation completely lacking in subtlety or intelligence. Stephen Norrington's next project was "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," great graphic novel, terrible movie because poor Stephen was out of his element. I see a lot of the signs with this one.
-
sucked because Connery ruined the director's work.
-
middling opening box office followed by rapid fade to obscurity, in turn followed by endless talkbacker chatter about What went wrong or how Moore's "brilliant" source material wasn't properly respected.
-
President of the United States is a job that takes a LOT out of someone (well it's supposed to anyway). After four terms of the stress, Nixon should look appropriately decrepit. Remember how he looks in the graphic novel as he's en route to Cheyenne Mountain? That was much worse than how the real Nixon appeared in the mid-80s. Come to think of it, Ford in the book didn't look so hot either (and I loved the little detail of how he was stumbling down the plane stairs :-)
-
That is absolutely A+ production design.
-
Bottom line: If Watchmen turns out to be anything less than a masterpiece, Snyder failed. And fail he will. My advice? Check Metacritic on the day of release: if it scores less than an 80, just watch The Dark Knight again.
-
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN sucked because Stephen Norrington is only a mediocre director and they changed a LOT from the graphic novel. I was shocked and dismayed at how different the book was from the film when I finally got around to reading it. I'm not totally sold on Zach Snyder, but he has two important things going for him to do this film right: I believe he truly wants his adaptation to be as close to the graphic novel as possible, and 300 has given him the power to tell studio suits to fuck off.
-
"Yes, I have. I think perhaps I'll create some."
That's the quote I want in the movie. And the pics look spot on, count me in as cautiously optimistic. -
"Big Figure. Small world."
-
http://rss.warnerbros.com/watchmen/WMD-22648_select.html
Rockin that RUN DMC look. Dope. -
is there an actor cast for nixon? that's prob why they aren't using actual nixon footage.
-
nice to see a pale horse poster in there. honestly though--getting the look right should be easy, the source is a collection of images! as good as this looks, the film will sink or swim on things you can't glean from set photos.
-
I hope this doesn't have that sleek, non-gritty look to it that the images seem to imply. It would be a lot cooler if it looked like vintage 70's cinema with some actual film grain, rather than "300" lite.
-
Hey better jump on the 4, 5 or 6 green, Brooklyn to the Bronx. Actually, that's about how NYC looked in 1980s Dinkin's shithole. Just need some more Hookers, Junkies and Adult Stores, and you got 42nd street back in the day down pat.
-
Looks like it could be the same lady driver from the book, including identical hat!
-
Got a really good feeling about WATCHMEN. No one has nailed a proper adaptation of an Alan Moore comic yet, but I have faith in Zack Snyder after his wonderful work on 300.
-
It was different because Connery wouldn't let Norrington work. He kept interupting him and walking off of the set.
-
Where are the electric cars and the electric pumps? Namely, the one on the corner where the news stand is? It doesn't mean the movie's gonna suck, but this is the kind of trouble you'll get when you make The Watchmen.
-
If you can't get excited by how cool this looks, and the potential that is apparent, then go anger-fuck your copies of Watchmen and don't even bother following this flick... At least wait till a fuckin teaser - hell, a fuckin official still - comes out before you start getting yourselves all tied in knots about how this won't fulfill your expectations. Or maybe just get lives.
-
The whole thing at the end is so great because the whole story is anchored in realism, with, of course, Doc Manhattan thrown in for flavor. Then the ending is just so MUCH more than your typical nuclear holocaust. If the ending changes to any realistic ending, Nukes, chemicals, viruses, whatever, the whole point is lost. And the point is that comics can go places efortlessly that all other media fear to tread. Do Not fear to tread there. A giant SPOILERoctopusSPOILEREND is just what every movie needs.
-
Comic books don't go where "all other media fear to tread." They go the same places that children's cartoons and cheap pulp novels go: to vapid inanity. Why? Because some little kids like them, and then they choose to aggressively defend them as legitimate as they grow up, thus shielding them from any real criticism. As such, people around here make dubious claims about the import and quality of things like the Watchmen, insisting that what (maybe) works in a book of drawings will work in a movie.
-
Because it looks like it in the third picture!
-
But still, might that not be a spark hydrant he's sitting in front of in that first pic (of course it doesn't make much sense for it to be one if the cars aren't electric)?
-
i am doubtful they can capture the complexity of the novel. we shall see.
-
....or is that Dan and Laurie sitting at that bus stop? They seem a little out of place. Maybe this is just before they get mugged in issue #3. Don't know who the actors are for this, so I am probably way off base. Just an observation...
-
Because I don't see how you can really do it justice if it isn't. Most superhero movies are PG, Blade was one of the few that wasn't. If they try to market it as a PG superhero movie, I'll still see it, but I'm pretty sure I won't like it. Or if I do, it still won't be like The comic book. I remember when I read the comic book and all the eros were really fucking up the bad guys, and I thought, how cool is THAT?! That's why I would want to see the movie, I want to see Rorschach throwing hot grease into someone's face. I want to see the Comedian getting his rape on with Silk Spectre. This was the kind of stuff that made me go Whoa! If you take that stuff out to market it as a PG superhero movie, you may get a good movie out of it, but it won't be The Watchmen I liked reading.
-
why'd they turn him into a 20 year old?
-
Maus
-
It's Stephen McHattie aka Night Owl I walking away from the newsstand in the first photograph. -
To see all this stuff lit and moving!
Snyder's going ot Ace it, on this, I can feel it! ;-) -
Hope the camera work fits the sleazy production design and doesn't go too slick. Nice if they did some subtle (NOT Grindhouse) style film stock effects to set the mood.
-
...should it actually be good (and there is a 0.07% chance it will be so there's hope at least) then I'll be both surprised and over the moon.I wait with baited breath.
-
I'm looking forward to watching this movie and I enjoyed the concept and themes of the Watchmen comic, am I the only one who thinks Alan Moore is a little overrated? His narrations just waffle on in their own self-important/self-indulgent soup.
-
.."Who watches the Watchmen?" be slightly obscured? At no point in the novel do you ever see the whole phrase, only ever a part of it.
-
How daft. How truly daft. Did anyone ever see a 'New Issue' psoter on newsstands, even at the height of the comics boom after Dark Knight, etc;
No. They did not.
This is pretty impressive stuff in many ways, but it seems so keen to interrelate that the film's world might end up seeming a little claustrophobic. The Gunga Diner posters, for example - two of them? And nothing for another eatery?
All these visual conveniences and coincidences might end up smacking of contrivance (and yes, of course they're all contrived, it's a set, but hiding the contrivance is the idea) -
Some actual sets from Zack. I was worried this entire thing was going to be shot green screen. This shows it'll probably be just mostly green screen instead.
-
DON'T FUCK IT UP PLEASE! WE'LL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO DO IT IF THIS GOES WRONG.
-
Let the cheesy cameos begin! You know Jay Leno will be in there somewhere, too.
-
If that is the best "criticism" you can come up with, you fail at life. These references are there solely for the fans who will notice them. To anyone else, they'll just be fucking random posters and graffiti. Plus, there are such things as selective framing of shots to "hide the contrivance," if that is in fact an issue. God damn, the fans can never be pleased.
-
...bubble-shaped electric cars and spark hydrants?
-
Comic books are for little babies. Go read something without pictures in it and grow out of your arrested adolescences. Here's one to get you started http://tinyurl.com/yt3lfx

Watchmen is son BIG that it doesn´t fit in just
one movie -
*Gasps in horror*Whoever let you into this TB WILL be fired!
-
Seriously. You knew they were making one of the most jealously guarded treasures of the comic book world into a movie, and you guys get mad once people start pointing out the flaws? Rollover and die you sheep. This is the goddamned Watchmen, and we all warned Hollywood to no touch this. Well, if you make the Watchmen, prove yourself, and prove you care about this as much as we do, or it's back to shouts of "let Gilliam make the 12 hour HBO miniseries". No electric cars means no Dr. Manhattan as far as I'm concerned. And everyone else has the right to point out whatever it is they what to point out. As far as I'm concerned, those of you that are already defending this movie without having seen a moving frame of this are WORSE than those of us who are being critical. I am not a religious man, but I must say that making the Watchmen is an abomination and nothing short of blasphemy and sacrilege. STOP MAKING THIS MOVIE NOW. You will not make anyone happy. Snyder, you have ALOT to prove as you can see, and fancy set pictures will not give you a free pass in my book.
-
You say that people defending the film are worse than people who pick it apart. I disagree. When you say something like "No electric cars means no Dr. Manhattan as far as I'm concerned" you may as well paint a fatass red target on your arse and scream "shoot me down" at the top of your lungs. All we've seen are a couple of pics, and you're being ridiculously presumptuous. Have YOU seen a single moving frame of this? "Fancy set pictures will not give you a free pass in my book." What the hell is wrong with you? They're initial teaser pics designed to whet the appetite and give away as little info as possible. I'm not overtly defending this project, but I think Snyder could pull this off. The only reason I'm being vocal is because some people seem predisposed to absolutely HATING the film, with nothing to go on but some set pics. THAT to me is much worse than having some high hopes for a potentially good film.
-
can't wait to see how the film the fearful symmatry sequence.
-
On the side of the newsstand? More coolness indeed.
-
I think Homeboy sitting in front of the newsstand is reading a copy...
-
Yeah. I'm definitely pre disposed to hating this film. It's Watchmen we're talking about. One of the greatest works ever committed to the comic book medium. If you're not going to do it right, then DON'T GO NEAR IT! I'm weary of Snyder especially after his slow motion love making scenes in 300. Very artistic. I'm not conservative about anything, but this. IT SHOULD NOT BE MADE INTO A MOVIE. You can officially consider me a naysayer until I see evidence that this movie is not going to suck.
-
really neat to see this materialize.
-
Imagine getting a part in Watchmen! That's a fucking honor if ever there was one. If I was a big name actor like Brad Pitt or whatever, I'd have taken a huge pay cut to appear in this thing. No matter how it turns out, playing one of the main characters in Watchmen would be something you could cherish for the rest of your life.Of course, if it turns out shite then you'll be hated forever but - if everything fell into place - you'd have something to tell your kids about.I should have been an actor. And ginger. And liked wearing masks.
-
Watchmen like Dune is too big a tale to fit comfortably into a 120-140 min movie. Lynch tried to be faithful to the novel but the way events became compressed stood against it for many people. The reality is that some things translate neatly from page to screen, while other things need reshaping to some degree. The key of course is to do it in a way that's sympathetic to the overall vision of the movie, while being respectful of its source. Snyder's idea to do "Black Freighter" as an animated side-piece shows he's definitely thinking about the meta-textual possiblities, so I'm hopeful. It's a helluva task though. The problem with Moore's work is that it relies heavily (in its natural medium) upon layering multiple plot strands and themes to create a density of idea that elevates it above the ordinary. When these secondary and tertiary layers are stripped back (see V for Vendetaa for example) it exposes any contrivances in setting up the primary element - and they often are when taken in isolation quite cliche and contrived. Returning to Lynch and Dune a similar thing happened when the story was condensed - the tone changes as the plot was streamlined and accelerated.
Just my 10c anyway, I genuinely wish Snyder well with this tough task. That said, remaking Dawn Of The Dead was a move I don't believe anyone thought would be anything but an embarrassment to Romero's original, and he pulled that off. So lets keep our fingers crossed. -
Watchmen is a great book. It's one of the graphic novels I still own. I've read it countless times. That said, it's not the religious experience some of you wierdos make it out to be. The movie seems to be extremely faithful to it's spirit so far. I don't think even Alan Moore, crazy as he is, want creeps like Montag666 to exist. When you wonder why can't comic books be recognized as a legit art form in most people's mind, think of these guys. They are the exact reason most good directors, producers and screenwriters try to avoid comic books like plague. No other medium has such loud and immature fans - no wonder everybody thinks all comics - even watchmen - is loud and immature. So basically, fuck you for scaring people away from a great read.
-
that first shot looks like an exact replica of a panel from Watchmen.
-
joblo.com/newsimages1/jokerempire2.jpg
More of the "Marilyn Manson just ate a big cake" look. Disgraceful and pathetic. -
It could have Hillary as President and ... No. Make that Nancy Reagan. Yea, thats it.And Frank Darabont should write the ending.
-
for the love of God please keep the original ending. No nukes, chemical warfare, giant solar lasers or shit like that.
-
Some of us read comics AND pitcureless books. Sometimes, even classic pictureless books, like Pride and fuckin' Prejudice. I know... It's crazy!
-
Ahem, Maus does not elevate all comic books, nor does it refute my argument that much of the prestige given in places like this to comic books is misplaced. Maus is a good little work, but it gets extra gravitas points from its subject matter, and there are far greater works in other media that overshadow it.
-
I'll third that motion, with the proviso that the ending happens in multiple cities. I figure that'd make the threat really more world-wide and not so America-centric. Makes the post-event utopia more believable if we lose NY, London, Cairo, Jerusalem, Tokyo, etc, etc.
-
I never argued that people here don't read Jane Austen novels, only that some folks praise comic books far more than such things warrant, and that I suspect the reason has something to do with wanting to justify their enjoyment of comics. Good for you for reading "even classic pictureless books," but please note that I never suggested people not read comic books--just that they should be honest about what they are.
-
You sir are a self-important blowhard, an arrogant bag of douche ... which begs the question: What the fuck are you doing here? From "Maus" to "Watchmen" to "American Splendor", there IS such a thing as literature in the realm of funny books. For Christssakes, how can you be so unabashedly dismissive of an entire medium just because it has "pictures"?? Sure, there's crap in comics just as there's trash TV and Z-grade shit-flicks, but "Watchmen" transends "pulp" to become something much more. It has just as much artistic merit as any other giant of its respective medium. Next you'll be trying to tell us "The Sopranos" wasn't art because it was on the boob tube every week.
-
Well thanks for letting us know what they 'are', that's a load off - lol
-
George McGovern than Richard Nixon.
-
Then give me Watchmen! That's all I'm saying. And I don't care what Alan Moore thinks of me! Just make it good or don't touch it. Yeah, I'm a graphic novel fundamentalist whacko and there's nothing you can do about it! And yes, most definitely keep the original ending for crissakes!
-
If nothing else (and it's entirely possible that it WILL be nothing else) Snyder's certainly a master at recreating comic visuals on screen.
-
...don't let that convince you that 90% of novels, movies, plays, TV shows, songs, paintings, photos, poems, dances, and street theatre performances (actually more like 100% of street theatre performances) don't blow just as hard. You claim that loads of comic geeks are holding their medium on an unrealistic pedestal, but by claiming superiority of other artistic media you're putting them on just as unrealistic a pedestal.I've been reading prose seriously since I was a kid, but comics only since I was around 22 or so (V for Vendetta was my first), and it's pretty obvious to me that there's the sublime and the shit to be found in both, and every other story-telling or entertainment medium.
-
Looks totally fake ass 80's comic booky with all the added benefit of liberal fear mongering of a conservative government. the only thing more moronic than sticking with the 80's was sticking to the re-writing of history in the process. the story should have been re-vamped due to how incredibly out of touch with history it is. see you on hbo...
-
That mistake being that EVERYONE knows that the who watches the watchmen graffiti is never finished! The bastards get shanked before they finish. Boycott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the sets look pretty impressive, however, why even make the god damn news stand if the Frieghter isn't going to be IN the movie.. -
is for the film version to turn out as a interesting cult footnote that finds a small passionate audience and doesn't shame the graphic novel. Watchmen is just all too easy to screw up beyond repair and very, very hard to get right...maybe a 10% chance of some form of success, with a 2% shot at greatness...and 90% at abject failure. Don't know if I can even stand to watch.
-
It jumped right out at me.
-
I wish movie producers, writers, directors, etc would stay the hell away from these properties. If only my virulent hatred for those hacks and their lack of imagination was powerful enough to keep them away and force them to think of original material it would be a wonderful world.
-
We can only dream for now. Don't even get me started on the "Bayformers". It turned out the flames were the least of our worries.
-
I did a google search and got this frigging talkback. English? Do you speak it??
-
I am actually going to get to see a Watchmen film. Rorschach on the big screen, are you fucking kidding me? I'm already in line.
-
Rorschach has a can of beans and cheets on his Journal!
-
Fuck Snyder. 300 was the most boring and over-rated film of the year. A big homo-erotic slo-mo fest with shit dialogue, shit characters, and torturously boring violence. That being said, Rorshach looks pretty fucking awesome...
-
I remember a story from 'ET' or something about how he wanted to kick the project off and it was considered one of the "great un-produced scripts" in Hollywood.
Is it just me? -
"Mr. Moore, which Watchman baby is your favorite?" God bless you, Milhouse, that's comedy gold.
-
See: Alan Moore. The primary conceits of his novels are typically shallow: the arrogant mumblings of 14 year old anarchists without the foresight to understand the results of their nihilistic rantings and philosophies. He's a sad, bitter little man. His style trumps his substance. So, he can blame (easily) Hollywood for his "movies" failing, but the true reason stems from his cardboard plotting and wafer-thin dialogue. Watchman might work with enough smoke and mirrors attached--not an easy task. As it is, the comic is fundamentally flawed, with a peppering of good moments within. It's harder to frame a moving world while obfuscating the strings and wires. V for Vendetta shows him at his most innane. The movie was terrible because the comic was terrible.
Yes, I hope Watchmen is good. But stop treating this miserable little bastard as a god. He's not.
-
have you read any of the extra material in moore's League books? or in Watchmen? cardboard plotting? really? and please elaborate on how a plot like Watchmen's -- the first deconstruction of the superhero as myth story, with a storyline that spans decades, and is critically viewed as the single greatest "comic book" ever -- is flawed? Please illuminate our feeble minds.
-
This is my first post anywhere ever. Long time reader (years) Many laughs and moans at the comments. So, All I have to say is "Watchmen is going to _____!" Just read it last year. Mostly read traditional books. It's all so exciting, Just kidding it's not. now who agrees?
-
If you didn't like 300, don't blame Snyder. He accurately reporduced Frank Miller graphic novel on the big screen. Even added a bit more plot to it (not that it necessaryily "needed it" to be a fun watch. But the gn the movie is based on isn't something with rich character or plot development. That doesn't make it "bad", it just wasn't intended to be Citizen Cane. As a movie ONLY - meaning, you remove it from it's context of being based on a GRAPHIC NOVEL, the movie is flawed. But as a graphic novel about a famous battle from antiquity, it works. oh, and Rorschach IS pretty awesome
-
didn't mean to ruin you "last". I won't be posting again, so feel free to re "last" yourself
-
I'm sorry. You just lost all credibility there.
But nice try. -
I'm so impressed.Shots from your typical 30 second entry into pretty much every NYPD Blue episode.But, as I have no expectations for this project it's right on track.
-
The production values are already very impressive. They don't look Burtony at all, with his heightened reality and over-stylized sets. And that last shot of Rorschach walking by the Nixon poster gave me goosebumps. The way he looks in it, they took his costume right out of the book. Which is awesome of Snyder to stick to the source material...(here it comes)...BUT...I don't believe he HAS to remain too faithful to the costuming too closely.I mean, is he going to stick Hooded Justice in purple-and-red tights? Is the Comedian going to walk around fighting bad guys in matching yellow shirt and pants? Are we to believe that Nite Owl 1 is going to be kicking in heads wearing almost the same underwear with no pants that Robin 1 did? I like authenticity as much as the next geek, but I'm in the camp that also doesn't think Batman should be caught dead in a fabric costume in any of the new movies. Cause if he were wearing a fabric costume, that's exactly what he would be...dead. I mean, these are CRIME-fighters. When Kane and Shuster and Siegel were creating icons for us to love and behold, they patterned Batman and Superman after circus strongmen. The Batman and Superman they created didn't come from a world of automatic gunfire, Kevlar and armor-piercing shells. Superman has had it easy and can get away with it, but don't tell me Batman has to face our world today with nothing but gray tights, a good roundhouse and a fancy car. Would it be believable for Malin Ackerman to face down an alley full of thugs in a tiny belted dress, stockings and heels?All I'm saying is, I hope he tempers the authenticity with some common sense. While costumes like that are taken for granted in a 4-color process comic book, it doesn't translate so well in a live-action movie.With that said, I *am* happy to note that Rorschach's coat looks more like Johnny Depp's leather coat in Donnie Brasco, than the One-Armed Man's beige trench coat in The Fugitive.
-
BTW, I realize the irony of my previous post in light of the fact that Hooded Justice's alter-ego was supposed to be a circus strongman...Damn you, Alan Moore.
-
...is the fact that you're an idiot. Who has/hasn't read the source material isn't gonna change the facts.a) A set copied from a panel in the comic means absolutely dick.b) Those of us who actually *have* read the source material realize the futility of the attempt to "adapt" this story to a 2-hour film.and...c) We're not "following this movie through it production phase"...we just enjoy posting sarcastic comments that brass off whiney-assed cunts like you.
-
Can't tell too much from the above pics, but I liked Snyder's "300" (never read Miller's book) and I'm holding out hope for a good Watchmen flick. I really liked *most* of the Hayter script I read, and so I have a generally positive outlook on the project. The production stuff I've seen up to now, along with the cast announced to date, all look pretty danged good to me. No matter what else happens, I'll shell out my cash and go see the damned thing, be it trainwreck or masterpiece. The haters here don't affect my opinion one way or the other, so don't let them get you all riled up either.
