Of course I'm the only the only one who was buying that 12 issue maxi series which is why they stopped at issue 7. :-( It's been two years now and they haven't picked it back up. Anyways, I am glad to see this movie underway, maybe they'll make a two parter like Kill Bill. Niall the Leprechan

Even if they take out all of the extra stuff between the chapters of the story, I have no idea how Snyder and co. will be able to capture the entire book on film. However, Watchmen wasn't written to be a movie, it was written as a graphic novel first and foremost, so as long as they capture the essence and the look on film, I'll hope for the best. These pics look great, but I want to see Rorshach. Doc Manhattan. Nite Owl. The Comedian. I agree Alfredo.

I still don't know how they are going to put all the story in a two hour movie. Or even a three hour movie. Wow that looks wonderful!
