Watchmen

I was kind of excited to see this when I first read the thread title, but now, after having thought about it, I agree with MVS. This is going to be no less than a train wreck.

I'd love to read it, but I usually always wait for the collected. Collecting monthly issues is a pain in my ass.

It's official:
http://watchmenmovie.com/

IMDB page:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0409459/

It seems the director of Bourne Supremacy is doing it now. I don't have a solid opinion on Hayter but he seems to be stuck in comic book movie hell now.

Man, this could suck ass.
But, it could be good.
This is really one of those things that doesn't need a movie.
I mean, every comic nerd knows it, and that's not a very large fanbase.
You lose part of the impact of it when it's not a comic.

Zack Snyder is sneaky...

Go back to the 300 thread I posted a tid bit about Watchman. Apparently theres an easter egg in the Rated R trailer and the image is that of Roschvach. I will post the pic shortly.

Here ya go.

That picture makes me wet. I'm as big a naysayer as everyone else here in regards to this movie, but that picture just looks good. It fills me with hope.

I know I posted the pic, but if the movie looks like the pic ... then I'm hyped.

I still need to read this. But I've flipped through it at the bookstore, and I can see that a lot of shit will have to get cut out to make it fit into a 2 hour movie.

There is no way in hell a movie of Watchmen can do it justice. Even that pic of Rorschach gives me no hope. But hey, if it will get people to read the book, then great.
