of course, that said, unless some production company is going to scrounge together a Rome-esque production budget for this, a TV-based retelling will almost certainly never happen. i’ve pretty much accepted that Watchmen is going to be just the latest badly-remade Alan Moore graphic novel; that doesn’t mean i won’t catch it in the theater, but i am expecting to whine uncontrollably afterwards.

You’re wrong the greatest story of Comics is Otherworld by Phil Jimenez! 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.

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 still don’t know how they are going to put all the story in a two hour movie. Or even a three hour movie.

Why the hell not?
Get busy now, dude, you won’t be disappointed.

i don’t care if the movie takes 3+ hours to do it, either.

Its the greatest stroy ever told and I mean that sincerly. The set pics so far have nailed the look and feel of the novel. I was disappointed when Paul Greengrass had to pull out but Zach Snyder is a genuine fan so it could be worse. Cant wait to see how they handle Dr Manhatten.
