Watchmen in costume

Excellent. My memory is 100% faulty. Join me for my thread in General Buzz where I discuss how 60's Brit band Van Halen was at their best with original frontman Sammy Cherone.

I think I already have.

Not bad! So far so good as far as this movie is concerned. It'd be nice to see a dead-on comic adaptation for a change...

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Wow. Comics were never like this when I was a kid. I don't know the characters but they look mighty cool.

[The Toyroom]

^ Cat, you should pick up a copy of Watchmen...it's a great read!

One of the best comics.
One of the best movies ????
It will be interesting

Looks like they've more or less stuck with the look of the comic versions, which is a breadth of fresh air. I'm getting quite excited about this movie.

That's one favourite book being filmed, I wish someone would look at bringing Kingdom Come to the big screen now.

Kingdm Come would be very intersting. I still think a closer adaptation of the first Frank Miller Dark Knight story would be an amazing film.

I believe that things have to be adapted according to the format in which tey're being done. That doesn't mean you abandoned the original project or, more importantly the theme or spirit of the project, but some things that work in format just do not work in another.

That said, these costumes look very true to the spirit of the characters. I'm starting to get psyched about this movie. Has there been a trailer released yet?

I can't wait to see Watchmen! Hopefully it won't feel rushed through the story. Or a mess with the pirate-story included. I'd almost like to see Kingdom Come as an animated movie, rather than live-action. Both stories have so much going on. (Of course, I haven't seen New Frontier yet, so I could be 100% wrong.)
