Thought we could use a Watchmen thread, with the Dark Knight and Comics threads in full swing. Casting is pretty close to complete:

Personally, after seeing Little Children, I think casting Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach is an inspired choice.
Good god I hope this film comes off well. I still would have loved to have seen Gilliam's version though.

And with Patrick Wilson, more from the "Little Children" cast. :)

I'm curious if they are going to try and get Alan Moore's blessing on the script and/or final flick. Lord knows, he pretty much shat all over "V" from what I hear.

Interesting. There were larger names wanting into this project until they found out about the budget (like Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, and Jude Law).
I like the current cast but it would've been interesting to see the above actors as well (except maybe Cruise...).
Goode, Morgan, and Crudup are all nice to look at anyway ;)

I'm about halfway through reading Watchmen, started it last year but I'm really horrible at finishing books quickly.

"The Incredibles" definitely owes a nod to that book.

Way excited for this one, Watchmen is probably my all time fav graph novel

Moore will shit all over this one. All of the movie adaptations of his books have been dire, I imagine that this will be no exception.
Moore disowns all the movies and even took action with the producers of V for Vendetta after they said he was excited about it. Shame really cos I'd say if he was actually involved with the films they would turn out much better, not like that League of extraordinary gentlemen shite.

Just to clarify, Alan Moore never writes anything. He just takes old comics and recycles old stuff that's happened back together, then he adds a few rape scenes. He didn't truly create any of the Watchmen characters, they're all "borrowed" from old characters people have forgotten. He's one of the biggest thieves in comics and a pedophile.
I'm glad his movies piss him off.
- tell us how you really feel.harlequino
- You mean he didn't invent the character of Alain Quartermain or Dr. Jekyl? Fuck.ian
- Nah, I mean the storylines are ripped off from old Charlton comics too. He's a DJ at best.Redmond
