Watchmen (2009)

As you should! :D

Apparently, the movie is down to 2 hours and 32 minutes right now. They're still crazy editing to get it down some more. Hehe
 
^^ I didn't see that, but I'm intrigued now! I guess I'll have to go see it again to catch it (any excuse really :P).

Nikki and Mindhunter (sorry, I don't know your name!), I totally agree with you guys! I'd quote what exactly but I'd end up quoting it all :lol: But re: Dan/Laurie, I really liked that Dan was never just a replacement or rebound for Jon, and that Laurie genuinely felt something for him. You also have to love that they stay together in the end :love:

And Rorschach's and Dan's friendship was one of my favourite things about the book/movie, but what I particularly loved about it in the film was the slight emphasis.

[sp]Like that added scene when Dan follows Rorschach and Jon out into the snow, sees the kill and basically lets out that scream of pain and horror. And the fact he went back and then beat the crap out of Adrian. It's angsty and horrible because Rorschach is dead (*sobs*) but as his "only friend", I really liked that Dan sort of defended his honour after his death.[/sp]

Rona, you hit the nail on the head about The Comedian :nod: I think that's why I can't bring myself to hate him (that and the fact he's played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, lol). But even though he does some despicable things and comes off as someone who has seriously questionable morals, you see he's not a real bad guy because rather than sugarcoat things, he just tells it straight.
 
I loved this movie. My boyfriend pointed something out to me that I loved -
in the prisionbreak scene when laurie and dan/ silk spectre and nite owl are fighting they each kind of fight a bit then one watches and slings back,lol, like 'look what I can do!"

Of all the characters The Comedian was the most interesting to me. In the flashbacks you see he's a jerk. But you can't bring yourself to hate him. No matter what he did, he saw the truth about the american dream...it's a joke. Yeah, they won the war but there was still violence. But at least in the end he had a change of heart.

Also Laurie and Dan were great together. They make a good couple.
 
The cast in costume, the movie comes out in exactly 1 year

One of the movies I am really looking forward next year! This and Public Enemies.

It sounds so interesting and I am just inlove with anything about superheroes storyline.

I've been pretty underwhelmed with Gerard Butler's post-300 career moves, but I like the dude and if anyone's gonna set him straight it's going to be the guy that Spartafied him in the first place. After rumors ran rife that Butler was gonna be playing a role in WATCHMEN to the point that it seemed like he might be playing every role, NORBIT style, Empire finally laid the speculation to rest today. He will indeed be playing the lead in TALES OF THE BLACK FREIGHTER, a planned animated adaptation that will be on the eventual DVD release. Unfortunately I don't remember all that much about the comic-within-a-comic, but I'm sure it will be both awesome, and Scottish. Butler would play Hitler Scottish. He had the following to say: "I’m going to do the voice of the captain... They’re going to do it in the style of a Japanese anime and I’m totally stoked. I actually read the script before reading the comic book and I thought it was awesome... Then I read the comic book and it’s great. The little bits that have been added define it so much more. It’s very dark and there’s just something so descriptive and scary. It’s this descent into madness but explained in such a sane way that you totally feel it yourself. By the end, my heart was pumping!”

Extra Tidbit: NIM'S ISLAND does not exist.
 
Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Enough said. :lol:

Thanks for this thread, I'm truly excited for this. I don't read comics or graphic novels (which I had the money for it!) but I heard this will rock. Can't wait.

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?

The film based on the graphic novel is being directed by Zack Snyder (300) and produced by Lawrence Gordon (Die Hard), Lloyd Levin (United 93) and Deborah Snyder (300), with Herbert W. Gains serving as executive producer.

Playing the film’s core group of “masks,” the masked adventurers at the center of the story, are Malin Akerman (upcoming The Heartbreak Kid) as Laurie Juspeczyk, aka Silk Spectre; Billy Crudup (The Good Shepherd) as Jon Osterman, aka Dr. Manhattan; Matthew Goode (Match Point) as Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias; Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children) as Walter Kovacs, aka Rorschach; Jeffrey Dean Morgan (TV’s Grey’s Anatomy) as Edward Blake, aka the Comedian; and Patrick Wilson (Little Children) as Dan Dreiberg, aka Nite Owl.
