Your First Look at the Watchmen Characters!

See, this is what I’m talking about. What Zack Snyder is doing with the Watchmen blog. Instead of waiting for some studio flunky to steal these character posters for his upcoming “Watchmen” adaptation and send them off to AICN for some brownie points, he’s instead posted them...

And he’ll be the voice of the castaway featured in the comic-within-a-comic, Tales Of The Black Freighter, which will be entirely animated in an anime style. Butler tells Empire Online, “I’m going to do the voice of the captain… They’re going to do it in the style of a Japanese...

Watchmen Wraps, New Rorschach Image

Alan Moore may not be too enthusiastic about Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen”, but I am. (Then again, besides peanut butter jelly, what does get Moore excited nowadays?) On the site’s blog, director Snyder writes that they’ve wrapped shooting on the film, and as a going away present,...

Fox Sues Warner over Watchmen

Who watches the Watchmen? Apparently 20th Century Fox does. Zach Snyder’s “Watchmen” has just gotten more interest — that is, if you didn’t think it was interesting already. Fox has launched a lawsuit against Warner Bros., seeking to stop the studio from releasing the still-unfinished...

Carla Gugino Talks Watchmen and Silk Spectre

I’m probably one of the handful of people who thought Carla Gugino’s Threshold TV show was really good, and was sad to see it go off the air without even a completed season. But Carla Gugino has come out of it alright, with roles in “Sin City” and now, playing “costume adventurer”...

Zack Snyder’s Watchmen Storyboards

If he ever stops making cool movies, I don’t think anyone is going to offer director Zack Snyder an illustration contract, as ol Zack seems to scribble more than he actually draws. But hey, there’s no denying that it works for the man, so why quibble? Snyder recently posted a couple of his...

Dave Gibbons Visits the Watchmen Set

A few days ago I posted comic book writer Alan Moore’s reaction to Zack Snyder’s movie adaptation of his “Watchmen”. He was not, not surprisingly, happy about it. But that’s Alan for ya, always kooky to the end. Dave Gibbons, the artist on “Watchmen”, feels a...

Alan Moore Comments on Watchmen

Comic book writer Alan Moore is a genius; I don’t think anyone who reads comics, or thinks of comics as more than just “cartoon books for kids” can dispute that point. But Alan Moore is also pretty, shall we say, batty when it comes to his books being turned into movies. He hated the...

New Images from Watchmen, Rorschach

I love guys like Zach Snyder and Rob Cohen. How can you not? They’ve come to accept and embrace the audience for their respective movies by blogging about the making of their films, through which they dole out little nuggets every now and then, like behind-the-scenes videos and images. Cohen is...

Watchmen Update: Matt Frewer is Moloch

This is interesting. When Zack Snyder released his cast list for “Watchmen” a while back, I hadn’t noticed that no one was scheduled to play Moloch the Mystic (aka Edward Jacobi), the former villain turned pathetic middle aged has-been who is murdered at the beginning of the movie,...

State of Play: Ed Norton and Brad Pitt has re-team, but unfortunately it’s not for “Fight Club 2″ as we’ve all been waiting (or was that just me?), and instead it’s for the political thriller “State of Play”. Norton will play a congressman whose speedy political...
