I have high hopes for this movie. Cool to see the Dollar Bill's costume.

please,please,please oh gods of filmland....do not muck this up...I beg of you....right i'm off to slaughter a lamb or something.

Hopefully this will be one of the better, more faithful comic book adaptations. At least they shouldn;t have to "dumb it down*" for the masses, as the masses probably aren't familiar with Watchmen anyway.

(* you know...stuff likes organic webshooters and nipples on batsuits)

If it gets Alan Moore's approval (past record makes that difficult)then it should be good...looks like Dave Gibbons is happy . It's a pity Gillium didn't do it when he had the chance , but then with his luck he'd proberly had filmed the greatest, most faithful comic book adaptation ever known that would have delighted fans, critics and the masses only to find he's lost the only print...

^ I highly doubt Alan Moore will give his approval...he's pretty much sworn off on having anything to do with flicks based on his work.

Any word on casting? Please tell me that there's still a chance they could use Bruce Campbell as the Comedian. He'd be so perfect for that role!

[The Toyroom]

Here's the cast line-up:

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

Patrick Wilson (Little Children) as Dan Dreiberg, aka Nite Owl

[The Toyroom]

Release date is March 6, 2009

Alan Moore has predictably had his name removed from the film. Why's he got to be such a twit?

I'm really looking forward to this movie...but then I really looked forward to V for vendetta, but i thought that was bad, and I really tried to like it.
I shall hold my breath.

Terry Gilliam that would have been interesting.

Cause that's his gimmick now it seems....hate the establishment, down with the "man"!

[thunderbolt]

^^ Well, why not take "the Man's" money, tho?? Really stupid to not profit from one's work.

[Bo8a_Fett]

odds not looking good though:
Return of the swamp thing (which borrowed from Moores work on the book)...poor
From hell...poor
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...poor
V for Vendetta....poor (although the costume and V were well done)
Constantine...poor

lets hope this one breaks the mold and proves to be a faithful adaptation....I await with baited breath...

From Hell. V For Vendetta. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Constantine.

I guess he figures no paycheck is worth the grief he feels being associated with the movie versions.
