Watchmen Trailer
 

I see no possible way to do true justice to this graphic novel, in what wioll likely be a 2 1/2 hour movie, but DAMN if the trailer does not look fantastic.

It is too bad that we live in a culture that treats comic books with less respect than sesame street or mr roger's neighborhood.

Otherwise, the Watchmen would have made a fucking KILLLER 6 part miniseries, a real big budget motherfucker. it would have been so great.

anyway, here is the Trailer that is showing at Dark Knight screenings

worst trailer's soundtrack ever.
flick looks neat.

it could have had devandra barnhead on the trailer soundtrack!

Nowadays , a lot of trailers are better than the movie ( they put all the best in the trailer ! )

that they do.

I read the trail;er for hancock was ten times better than the actual movie!

yeah, I've heard it was going to be almost 3 hours long and encompass the entire set of books.

that's somewhat disappointing, but it still LOOKS badass.

time will tell.


on/off-topic: the watchmen was one of the few DC comics that I actually REALLY liked. that's pretty much reason enough for some hollywood suit to fuck it up hardcore.

you said it

i just ordered watchmen since i want to start reading comics.

very good one to start in on.

I'm pissed because a while ago my dad told me I should read this and that he had his old copies in the garage somewhere. So I went out to look for them, they were not found, and then this trailer comes up. So if I ever do find them, I'll feel like I'm only reading it because of the movie.

Whatever.

It looks good.

The trailer blew me away . Its the same SP song used for Batman + Robin but mixed slower , I have been disgruntled with SP but I thought it worked for this .

Can't wait to see this movie , Almost (but never so ) as much as Terminator 4 . I will live another year !

Watchmen is one of the best comics I've ever read. I was pretty nervous about how this movie would be. In fact, I was convinced they would fuck it up entirely. I must say however, that this trailer looked impressive. Here's hoping it won't suck!

I bought it two days ago for the exact same reason. I'm on chapter 3 now and so far it's excellent.

haha wait smashing pumpkins are on the soundtrack? Man..

it seems like people care more to talk about the song in the trailer than the movie or trailer itself

give it a rest

...

haha wait smashing pumpkins are on the soundtrack? Man..

who are these...smeashing pumpkins?

I'm totally psyched for this flick. It looks like it might do justice to the books.

It's too bad that Terry Gilliam couldn't get his shit together to do it...but that's happened with him and a lot of projects.

terry gilliam would just have put a lot of little people in the movie.

Terry Gilliam is an idiot savant.

Sorry, I love the Watchmen book but this movie looks awful. From the director of 300? Pleease they couldn't have picked a better director? Anyway most of the book is talking, it's more like reading a novel but it looks like they are focusing on the super power aspects of it and lots of slow mo action. Uggh. I don't think it will be good. Alan Moore will probably hate it too just like he hated V. So that's From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen. Hope hollywood stays away from his early scifi/punk stuff like Quinch and Skizz

Terry Gilliam is amazing, he could've done it justice. I'd rather see him do other stuff though like a Neil Gaiman adaptation. After I read Neverwhere ( which could be the best fantasy book ever aside from the Hobbit ) I was really really hoping Gilliam would do it, but now I find out he's going to do " Good Omens " the only Neil Gaiman book I haven't read. Damn. I want to see neverwhere. It'll probably get sold to some crappy illequipped movie company like Stardust did and get made into a crappy harry potter wannabe garbage movie

everyone is saying how it looks awesome... i dont buy it... not a real watchmen fan, but neither are most people talking to me about it... jackie earl haley was fantastic in Little Children, so his casting is encouraging, but aside from that... i don't know, i'll reserve judgement tho for trailer 2 or 3

When I first heard it was from the director of 300, for some reason I forgot Snyder directed it and assumed that Frank Miller was actually going to be his first solo directorial debut. Turns out I confused it with The Spirit. Would have been awesome if Miller did Watchmen.

yeah sorry 300 sucked

indeeeeeed it did. In a HUGE way. So I'm not the only one! Awesome ::highfive::

New from PIXAR! - D.R. and Quinch



I kid. I'm a kidder.



Mind the oranges, Marlon.

I thought V was very good and fit the comic very well.

From hell was an OK movie but it had NOTHING to do with the story from the comic (which I have read twice and is fucking amazing)

Good Omens is a very good book, more whimsical and apocalyptic than neverwhere.


neverwhere was fucking good too!

Yeah, It's the one movie I haven't seen that I will never watch in my life. I liked the comic too much and I've heard from people I trust that it's NOTHING like it, and that they pretty much turned V into Neo from the Matrix and it's all about slow motion karate scenes.

Not to turn this into a Neil Gaiman thread but yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about Good Omens. More whimsical really? The thing I loved about Neverwhere was that it was dark and serious, but whimsical at the same time. Such a perfect fantasy book. And it was so detailed. They described the underground world in such detail, like croup and vandemars abandoned hospital.

Anyway, I've gotta read it someday. Only book of his I didn't like was Stardust. It was a bit TOO whimsical and generic fairy tale for my tastes. Man I really am a picky bastard

actually, the movie was less faggy

kind of like the crow
ha ha! just kidding of course

the movie was very good adaptation I thought.

I know what you mean though, because I hate watching movies if I have read the book beforehand. the movie almost always comes off cheap and thin

I did not finish stardust
I agree with ya on that one

I guess "whimsical" si not the right word for good omens. More like anarchic.
