WATCHMEN Movie Discussion (SPOILERS allowed)!

[ProgMatinee]

I'd let them all have sex with you too, but only after me.

 

[CelticPredator]

That new trailer is AMAZING!!

 

[The Mike]

I'm sure you would.

What a fun train ride that'd be.

 

[Darth Caedus]

The Japanese trailer is pretty epic. Lots of great new shots:

<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/3WNETpX2Jd0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/3WNETpX2Jd0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>

So they showed you Nite Owl I getting knocked off and Moloch, can't wait for this.

Hollis's death was an unexpected surprise.

For those of you bored at work, here's the old Watchmen Screenplay by Sam Hamm. Haven't finished it, but it's not horrible

Uh... that "not" you put in there before "horrible" was a mistake, right? The Hamm script is an abomination and almost nothing like the book.

I mean that opening Statue of Liberty sequence and lines like, "Christ almighty, it's the goddamned Watchmen!!!" ??? And an ending with Ozymandias dying and Rorschach living?

Thank God that version never materialized.

[scubasteve]

I love that shot of Veidt laying out the hitman.

 

[IrishJedi]

By the way, I guess I can officially announce it now...

I have joined the staff of WatchmenComicMovie.com (by far the biggest and best Watchmen site on the net) and will be reviewing collectibles there, interview folks, and helping Moderate their forums (I'm "Comedian Carl" on there).

Have a visit sometime:

[CelticPredator]

Drew this because I couldnt edit any videos...

 

[IrishJedi]

That's pretty cool, CP.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Man, that trailer is great.

I posted this on the not good news thread but I thought I would post it here too. In case you missed it

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that that lawyers for 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. have agreed to let a federal judge decide whether Warner Bros. will be allowed to release Watchmen on March 6th, forgoing a jury trial that could have put the high-profile film's future into even longer limbo.

In court papers filed Monday with U.S. District Judge Gary A. Feess, attorneys for Fox and Warner Bros. jointly said they would let the judge decide Jan. 20 whether Fox could block the film's theatrical distribution as Fox has been seeking all along as part of its copyright infringement lawsuit against Warner Bros.

In a preliminary ruling issued Dec. 24, Feess said Fox, and not Watchmen producer and distributor Warner Bros., owned the right to distribute the film. Warner Bros. is a unit of Time Warner Inc., and Fox is owned by News Corp.

In his December ruling, the judge urged the warring studios to negotiate a settlement, but no deal has been reached

 

[CelticPredator]

Show them the new trailer. That'd work.

That script makes me ill.

 

[Memnoch]

That script makes me ill.

I got as far as something along the lines of "Adrian was back at Watchmen HQ" and that was it for me.

I love the photoshopped Newspaper headline and story TOTAL FILM did. Very clever.
