Perhaps its for the best?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 9 June 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

Verily.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 June 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

Vexing.

Unless they're waiting for Robert Downey Jr. to gain 60 pounds so he can play the Comedian.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 9 June 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

I thought they were getting Elijah Wood.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 June 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

Quoth movie exec: "I'm getting Wood just thinking about this."

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 June 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

I'm actually kinda relieved. At least this way I don't have to worry about what crap it'll be. (see: V for Vendetta)

Brett Ratner would have ended up directing it, it's all for the best.

I still think it's pretty much unfilmable.

Like wind?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

I, for one, am all for it, if only for the inevitible LITG-sanctioned Alan Moore temper tantrum once the studio announces it's going to "update" the story by making Dr. Manhatten a woman played by a naked, blue Rebecca Romjn-Sandler.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

And Rorschach will be played by The Rock.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

haha

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

burt reynolds is the comedian

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

or tom selleck

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

or both in an attempt to appeal to the Charlie Kaufman demo.

one year passes...

the moment before the blood hits the button. cute

― Oilyrags, Friday, 17 August 2007 03:58 (eighteen years ago)

wow, my expectations for this are on a par with the frank miller spirit movie.

― forksclovetofu, Friday, 17 August 2007 05:46 (eighteen years ago)

well, at least there's Seth Rogen's Green Hornet...

― Dr. Superman, Friday, 17 August 2007 05:55 (eighteen years ago)

Wasn't Veidt in costume when he beat up Blake? Or do I remember incorrectly?

― Tuomas, Friday, 17 August 2007 06:48 (eighteen years ago)

I think not.... when they flash back to it he is in the outfit shown above.

checks book - I R RITE.

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Friday, 17 August 2007 09:14 (eighteen years ago)

He was in costume when they fought (and Blake won) 20 years earlier, IIRC.

― Ray, Friday, 17 August 2007 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

...Although I have to say I'm fond of the release date--think "watch hands."

― Douglas, Friday, 17 August 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

I was really hoping 'Plug Pulled on Watchmen Movie" was a NEW thread...

― James Morrison, Monday, 20 August 2007 02:07 (eighteen years ago)

OTM

― energy flash gordon, Monday, 20 August 2007 10:06 (eighteen years ago)

yerp.

― Oilyrags, Monday, 20 August 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

I was just hoping this was being revived for thread title appropriateness.

― jessie monster, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:15 (eighteen years ago)

Is Jessica Alba in this?

― Dr. Superman, Monday, 20 August 2007 23:40 (eighteen years ago)

four weeks pass...

word on the street (from my pals in the set building biz):
90 locations
115 sets
shooting from sept to march
100 mill budget (at least)

― Dr. Superman, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

It's just going to be some sort of po-faced rubbish like V, isn't it?

Also, nicht Danny Elfman, please

Soundtrack suggestions?

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

Godsmack, Linkin Park, etc
OR "weird" 80s stuff like Laurie Anderson and Gary Numan, possibly Nena for final creds.

― Dr. Superman, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:17 (eighteen years ago)

OR Godsmack, Linkin Park etc COVERING L. Anderson & Nena, etc

― Dr. Superman, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:17 (eighteen years ago)

No. Gary Numan's "I Dream of Wires" playing over and over and over and over. Or just the opening synth line. I haven't decided yet...

― Matt M., Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

'O Superman' would be a fantastic opening credits theme for a Watchman film, although if you forced me to bet my hard-earned money I'd lay it on another boring old piece of Danny Elfman Lite cod-operatic wankery, like all other 'comic book' films.

― Vic Fluro, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 22:33 (eighteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

how was the 300 score? it'll be like that but 80s STYLE
