Stills from the new Watchmen movie, due out next year. For those of you who are fans of the comic book limited series, you'll be excited to see that these characters look exactly like they do in the comic. I wonder if Alan Moore will change his mind about the movie when he gets a chance to view it. It is supposed to be faithful to the comic.
The Comedian
NiteOwl
Ozymandius
Rorschach
Silk Spectre

She looks like she's farting flames.
I hope this doesn't suck. I love Rorshach.
Silk Spectre seems to be the only one I'm iffy about. I guess if she can play the role, the look doesn't matter too much. I always thought Mariska Hargitay would be perfect for the role. She's getting up there in age, but since Watchmen is a one movie deal, you don't have to worry about longevity of actors. Make-up can make her look the age that Silky was in the book. Besides, Silk was a bit depressed in the book, living in a military compound with Dr. Manhattan. A few wrinkles here and there could convey deprivation of---everything, I guess. Plus, she wasn't getting laid proper. Oh well, it's too late to change it now. Overall, I think it will be a good film.
Speaking of Manhattan, where the hell is he? No pics? Hope they do a good job with him.
I'm sure Alan Moore secretly watches all movies based on his writings....Ok, maybe not. I'd be pissed if I saw League of Extraordinary Gentelmen, I wouldn't be able to contain myself. I did enjoy it for what it was, but if I wrote the fucker and witnessed the besmirching of it, I'd throw a fit---probably would use black magic or whatever he's into. So I guess it's a good thing he keeps a safe distance.
Cool, I want to see it too.
Awesome...except for Silk Spectre but, we will wait and see. Couple months ago there was a still in Wizard of Rorschach torching a SWAT cop. It was almost just like the panel in the book.
And how the hell are they gonna do Doc Manhattan? Are we gonna see superior being shlong bouncing around the movie screen?
I still kinda wish they had gotten Tom Cruise for Ozymandius...but, I guess it would have been too close to real life then.
John Wichester as the comedian?? I think it will work...but, how cool would it have been to have Bruce Campbell??
I can't wait to see this...but, right now it is eclipsed by the Dark Knight. Have you seen the new DK trailer? Have you paused it in just the right spots to see the easter eggs? Looks like Scarecrow is coming back and Two Face is gonna show up.
I don't know anything about it... but it looks cool.
think that's cool?
