No, it's not in the Video Player here - to my knowledge it's not available online anywhere yet - and yes, I'm a horrible tease, but I caught the trailer for Zack Snyder's Watchmen in front of an advance screening of The Dark Knight tonight. And zowie. Looks great. Showcases the characters and the world without giving anything significant away and if Snyder has done as good a job of translating the story to the screen as he has the look then we're all in for a big treat.
With it spooling on the big screen everywhere starting Friday I'd be keeping my eyes out for this online by the weekend if I were you ...
Watchmen should have belonged to Christopher Nolan. having seen The Dark Knight, i can only imagine what Nolan would have been able to do with it. but i hope Nolan won't be doing anymore superhero/comicbook movies, lest he becomes another Bryan Singer. Nolan is destined for greater things.
as for Zack Snyder: PPPPTTTTUUUUUIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
ya the trailer was beautiful, im looking for the song used in the trailer, anyone know?
300 didn't look bad either and it was an unbearable incoherent mess of a movie. the last production photos/character shots made me think this looks more like an image comic and spawn will pop out any second in the background.
I remain cautiously optimistic and can't wait to see the trailer. Deep down in my gut I feel like Snyder might just pull this off.
Watchmen is prolly my favorite work by moore, therefor i was kinda horrified to hear that Snyder was attached. After seeing the first character designs i wasn't any happier.
I don't see this working at all, Watchmen is one of the few comics that treats "superheroes" as people, it's one of the reasons this is one of the few stories that sticks out as "real" to me. Knowing Snyder it'll be anything but real and his writing staff also doesn't give high hopes.
I actually had high hopes when i heard Aronofsky was attached to direct this piece way back when. He took off to shoot The Fountain in stead, wish they got him back after he was done with that.
So far all the movie adaptations of Moore novels have failed. Yes that ncludes V for Vendetta, which wasn't a bad movie on it's own but never even neared the brilliant story of the graphic novel.
i hope Snyder can surprise me, but i'm not counting on it.
the first thing already wrong with Zack Snyder's vision is that his superheroes look "cool" and have "cool" costumes. there is a reason why Moore and Gibbons had the superheroes look a little "ridiculous" in their costumes.
hallo, anybody home?!?! (knocks Snyder's head)
I hate you guys.
I REALLY wanted to see the trailer.
*sulking
After reading the comic again I thought that the costumes featured in the first photos were the costumes that they used when they were younger but the second photo of the whole group proved that wrong.
But I think that while Moore was taking shots at Superhero comics Zack and Co are taking shots at Superhero movies and that's why we have these Schumacher types of costumes.
Interesting observation Swarez.
The trailer was indeed excellent. I am a big fan of the graphic novel. You just have to accept that movie movie adaptation of any comic or novel is going to be exactly how you picture it in your head. This one looks pretty damn good though.
I caught the trailer on IMAX the other day when I was at the press screening for The Dark Knight. It got me jazzed up and received applause from anticipatory press. I take it as a given that the film version cannot replicate Moore's look.
I'd rather watchwomen.
