I wonder if there is a scene with Veidt and Nixon, or if that's just how this video was cut...

 

[scubasteve]

Cool, but I always envisioned The Comedian having a gruffer/heavier sounding voice.

 

[IrishJedi]

His voice is pitch-perfect.

scubasteve, I have to know...who is that in your avatar?

I imagine the voice will be gruff for most of the film, but the man has to have some levity in his personality given who he is. JDM nailed it.

This beats out Lego and South Park in my opinion. It just looks like the characters, but you can still picture the Comedian throwing back a few beers at Moe's.

That is Katy Perry.

UPDATE 1-Warner Bros says will fight 'Watchmen' ruling
Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:35pm GMT Email | Print | Share| Single Page
LOS ANGELES, Dec 30 (Reuters)

Warner Bros says it has no plans to move the March 6 release date of its upcoming film "Watchmen" and may fight an adverse court ruling that gives Twentieth Century Fox the right to distribute the film.

U.S. District Judge Gary Feess said at a hearing on Monday that he would delay ruling on an injunction sought by Fox to bar release of the film, saying he would consider the request, as well as damages and other issues, at a Jan. 20 hearing.

The hearing followed Feess' ruling last week that the film, which reportedly cost Warner Bros more than $120 million to make, infringes on a copyright held by Fox.

Feess ruled on Dec. 24 that Fox still owned "at the very least, a distribution right" in the film, based on a comic book series about superheroes, because producer Lawrence Gordon had never acquired those rights from the studio.

Gordon tried for years to adapt the series into a film, and was successful after teaming with "300" director Zack Snyder and Time Warner Inc-owned (TWX.N) Warner Bros.

In a statement issued on Monday, Warner said it was considering an appeal of the copyright infringement finding.

"We respectfully but vigorously disagree with the Court's ruling and are exploring all of our appellate options," the statement said. "We continue to believe that Fox's claims have no merit and that we will ultimately prevail, whether at trial or in the Court of Appeals. We have no plans to move the release date of the film."

Fox said in a statement that it was "gratified by the recognition of our rights in the judge's order, which speaks for itself."

The dispute centers on an agreement between Gordon, who is not a defendant in the copyright infringement lawsuit, and Fox, his longtime distributor for such films as "Die Hard."

After acquiring the rights to the popular but dark-themed graphic novel "Watchmen" in 1986, Fox conveyed those rights to a company controlled by Gordon, but maintained the right to distribute the first film based on the novel.

In 1994, Gordon withdrew from that company and acquired its interest in "Watchmen" but was still obligated to allow Fox distribute the first film, Feess ruled.

Warner Bros had argued that Fox lost its interest in "Watchmen" when it released the project to Gordon.

Feess rejected that position, finding that Gordon had never paid an agreed-upon buyout price for Fox's rights to the property.

Ever the badass. I'm loving the way the bar scene is looking. It's like the pages springing to vivid reality.

 

[Entropy]

Wish the scar was a bit nastier looking, but it'd be tough to deleiver lines properly with an appliance on the side of your mouth.


Still can't figure out who that is that they're burning at 2:09?

 

[IrishJedi]

Still can't figure out who that is that they're burning at 2:09?

I always figured that's Superman they're burning in effigy during the Keene Riots against superheroes.

Obviously, Superman himself doesn't exist in the WATCHMEN universe, but the comic book might... or at least something close.

 

[CelticPredator]

I think he does. I remember Hollis talking about him in Under the Hood. Must investigate further....hurm.
