  • bunch of tom cruise HATERS !

  • Four words:

    BIG BLUE GLOWING PENIS

  • I've read the novel its awesome and I REALLY want to see the movie!

  • @45andcounting take your time...

  • Tom C. in watchmen... It would have been like Batman with George C....

  • hm...to think what could have been if tom had signed on....

  • he is one my fav directors i really think he should direct a justice league movie and chris nolan and bryan singer should produce

  • The movie did have a discernable "meaning" - it was an ode to the baby boomers of the hippie generation, and a knock on everything related to conservatives. What craft there is to it is how well it obliquely tries to defend the history of Left fascism without appearing to openly do so - the strategy seems to be to attack every social theme the neo-Marxists opposed.

    Not really a fan of Alan Moore. But I must say the movie is better than the comic. I really hated the comic (and yes I read it).

  • Just don't post shit like that, douche

  • Bigfootarts94 you must be one stupid ass mother fucker to not get. the movie What the fuck is so hard to understand about it. well anyways i really liked the movie its one of my favorites. cant wait until it comes out on DVD and im so glad Tom Cruise wasnt in it. It really would of ruined the movie for me

  • wow... are you seriously getting mad,because i dont like the movie... wow you really are pathetic... get a life

  • Your fucking stupid i didnt get mad because you didnt like it. im just saying your a fucking dumbass for not getting it.

  • good point ;)

  • Hey buddy, just chill.

    If you really didn't understand the movie it's okay  Probation93, you're wrong to have made fun of such a hopeless being. Can you even imagine how low his self esteem must be to get in an argument with someone over youtube? Bigfootarts94, If you really don't understand the movie you are a moron, but you don't have to complain about everything you dislike on the internet. Watchmen was an incredible movie!

  • wow... you are saying i have a "low selfaseem" because i didnt like the movie... and i wasnt even starting an arguement, he was obviously though... mind yourself and get a life.

  • Av U Read The Novel caus otherwise i dout u would

  • Who was Cruise interested in playing??

  • Silk Spectre

  • lol :P

  • everyone there is going to be a ironman 2 hancock 2 and spiderman 4and5 but christopher nolan said that he wants a rest with the batman series and he will make another batman movie in about 2011-2012

  • yea and he also said the new villains are gona be the penguin (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and the riddler (johnny deep)

  • @buliufas/xDJohnnyBoy - who cares what you guys think as you sit at home masturbating over a comic book?

    Snyder and a hundred other people made an [incredible] effort to bring the story to a new medium and did a great job with the [many] limitations of cinema.

    What's your contribution in all this? Hate speech! For somebody who rants about the Watchmen story, you seem to have missed the point entirely.

  • I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg best movie ever! vioku. com got it on high definition

  • I expected more from it, but I liked it anyways

    watch the full movie at vioku. com

  • so what this film will only be in imax so not in every cinema

  • Tom Cruise??? No. I don't see it! I agree with julian9239.

    PS: Saw it on 3.6.09, in IMAX -- It was AWESOME!!! Will get DVD.

  • Watchmen Movie Update: Extra "man ass" and "blue penis"! lol

  • LOLs watch on IMAX for extra man ass and penis... I was wondering why it was necessary to give dr. manhattan pornstar proportions. Watching this interview kinda answers that lol

  • Do you think Adrian's fighting was based on any particular style?

    I liked Rorshach's brutality, of course, but Veidt's fighting looked like it was a style of fighting.

  • Tom Cruise would make a decent Ozymandias, a crazy, effeminate mastermind. The biggest joke of all is that his craziness is right.

  • I don't think Ozymandias is crazy... He's just smarter than pretty much everyone else and has realized the truth. If he doesn't do this thing, the world will effectively end.

  • Thank god, Tom Cruise would have completely destroyed this movie.

  • yeah, yeah... all of his Scientology stuff which he always talked about... that's just bullshit!!!

  • i agree. tom cruise would've totally ruined it for me.

  • alan moore will hate it no matter what. poor zach

  • It's a great movie, Zach made it very much like the comics. I think the goriest part in the movie is when Laurie and Dan fight the top knots in the alley. Everybody in the theater was like , Oh! OOOH!

  • AWESOME!! god, you americans dont get ANYTHING do you....

  • Tom would have killed it! Rorschach FTW

  • i can make one inference. u r a stuck up british guy. am i right?

  • i am, i take it your a refined and literate american (USA USA USA!!!)

  • oh man an attack on my grammar i have never seen that happen. i just hate typing out are when i can put r and everyone understands

  • Maybe you should read the book and not just watch the second hand vision that is the movie.

  • great.u know how to make stupid assumptions too. no i read the book. but of course u had to say i didnt.

  • correct yourself. British isn't right at all. Britain isn't a country. England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. get it right

  • no its still the same thing. hes british and hes stuck up.

  • Too bad Tom Cruise didn't end up being Ozy. Oh well...

  • i read somewere alan moore saying that he wouldn't see the movie. aparently he doesnt like the trailer

  • i can tell zach snyder dosent like interviews and stuff if i was a director i wouldnt either lol

  • Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Zach Snyder, but holy crap does he ramble on and on.

  • I'm sad to say it but Zack Snyder never seems to know exactly what he's talking about, but as long as he goes with the Graphic Novel I think we'll be fine.

  • never heard of watchmen or anything about it but im so going to see this.

  • agreed dude, it looks seriously awesome :D

  • glad to hear that it will be a long movie, thats when there done right.

  • it's MA in australia and england but R in america

  • i think ratings are shit

    who decides how mature we are?

    i just watched a russian soldier's head being cut off by two chechynian soldiers

  • yeh i know

  • and you think this is something that makes you mature? are you serious?

  • You dont get MA's in england, so is that like an 18 or a 15?

  • should be 15 because it's deffenitely 15 in australia and i thought our system were fairly samiliar

  • 18.

  • I've been skeptical about this film ever since I heard Zack Snyders name was tagged on it, since I hated 300. But he seems to have a good grasp of the graphic novel so hopefully he won't allow the fuck ups that ruined 300.

  • his balls are still shown

  • wait, if its gonna be pg-13 that means they cut out the sex scenes? and the cover up Dr. manhattans crotch?

  • its R

  • From what I've seen, they cover up Dr. Manhattan, but it is R. They've still kept the sex.

  • i think they cover up manhattan for the trailers and stuff like that.

  • if they didnt it wouldnt be watchmen because they have sex like every chapter

  • nah, i think its gonna be an R in theatres ( rated 18 here in britain). apparently there gonna leave in the rape scene and the dog butchering scene( apparently there sticking to the GN totally). heres hoping.

  • i heared rumors that keanu reeves was origionally going to be manhattan, i love who they have now it worked out masterfully..but keanu would have been spectaculat imo

  • oh thank god tom cruise wasnt cast

  • God what an old interview.

    And yes, The interviewer in this is just god awful.

  • Wow, what an exciting & enthusiastic interviewer :P

  • For some reason, I've always pictured the Comedian played by Robert Downey Jr. but bigger, which is pretty much Jeffery Dean Morgan.

  • i bet he was thinking gerard butler for the comedian... hopefully jeffery dean morgan does a good job. you have to keep in mind that there's gonna have to be a lot changed and cut out though...

  • lol the hosts hair is like a 14 year olds

  • Just like Zack Snyder's attitude to comics, you mean? Terry Gilliam, a far better director, had the good taste to ask Alan Moore how to film Watchmen, and actually followed his advice, which was "Don't".

  • Tom Cruise as Ozymandias???

    Thank God it didn't happen!

  • Tom Cruise could have made for a brilliant Veidt. Only downside is his uber-famousness could take you out of the film... but as far as his acting skill set, it would be a great role for him.

  • @fuhrerschein2008 u know that the movie flopped without tom cruise right ?

  • @kalamantas3 So what? Maybe it would've been different with Tom Cruise, maybe not. Whether he would have made the film a little more successful or not, for me he's still not the right actor to play the part. Has nothing to do with money whatsoever. And I guess most other fans of the graphic novel agree with me on this.

  • This guy may actually make it like the graphic novel and not cut too much out. Looks like it could be pretty good

  • JSword , Moore doesn't want his name on ANY film adaption of his work. He's a bit os a poseur in that respect, but fanboi's never call him out on it. Just pointing out that it has nothing to do with this film alone.

  • Moore pretty much regards comics and film as incompatable artforms, It's likely this disillusionment with film adaptations of his work started when Joel Silver first suggested to Moore and Gibbons casting Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dr Manhattan in a Watchmen film

    either that or The Return Of Swamp Thing

    1989 film.

  • btw - the host of this show looks like a 45 year old meth-head, coming off a 9 day bender with a pair of old english 40's to keep him company. 2:32 - dude the guy is having trouble with reality and he really is doing his best to read his lines... so rofl. i dont know if reelzchannel is indie or what but they should really get a legit host. zack snyder cant even bear to look the guy in his eyes for more than a second for fear of his skin turning inside out.

  • to.

  • lol he does look like that

  • he gave away the film rights to gibons hence the adaption. synder doesn't care about the message though just to make people go see the film and be entertained

  • no snyder cares just as much about the message as alan was hes taking the project seriously and with alot of passion.

  • too centred in action as he said about 300, he's more interested in entertainment than actually conveying aything else. quite shallow.

    so the best thing to do is how about getting alan to write a script on his own, no comic book adaptation to ruin.

  • keep it as long as it takes

  • Alan Moore refused to have anything to do with Hollywood related things after the abortion that was the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and also From Hell, V for Vendetta. He has previously stated that Watchmen would be impossible to adapt as a film because of sheer length and the fact it was written in a way to be suited to the graphic novel format ie you can flick back through pages and see things that you never saw before that become alot clearer because of whats just happend

  • ya i read that interview also, but personally i thought V was a pretty good movie. watchmen is probably gonna suck but i still want to see it.

  • Movie looks great, but how do you not sit down with Alan Moore before you even start THINKING of adapting this to film?

    Last I heard Alan Moore saw it and said not so nice things about it.

  • moore wants nothing to do with the movie. he wants them to take his name off the credits.

  • Yeah but I read now that Moore has not seen or heard one thing about the movie. All movies based on his books he reclines to put his name on it. Constantine, League, V for Vendetta... Moore refuses to have anything to do with all movies even if they are good (which so far none have been.)

    We'll wait and see.

  • V for Vendetta was good not as good as the comic obviously but still it was good.

  • I was action trash, complete rubish compared to the comic book that's marvelous. All Alan Moore adaptation are awful. Just complete crap.

  • I think I read Watchmen and now many years later I'll have to reread it then see the film. There were parts I didn't get. Hope it is made for the comic book crowd who will also buy the dvd. Isn't it about a bunch of out of shape superheroes that try to stop...ah that would be telling, nevermind.

  • if i dont find out who rorschach is im gunna bust a nut

  • blasphemy..

  • I agree with you on the tom cruise part. But changing the ending would be completely stupid. Rorshach had to die because he would never comprimise like the other characters. In my opinion hes the only true hero in the book.

  • I agree 100%, but it wasn't just his unwillingness to compromise. Rorschach had a death wish from the begining, His life had been filled with so much agony and disappointment, he had to die. He is without a doubt my favorite comic book character of all time.

  • i loved his face when he yelled "do it"

  • absoulutly. Dave Gibbons really has a way with capturing emotions.

  • I read the novel (I don't read, I'm not into comics), and I loved it. And I was sad that Rorschach died. But then I realized... that's how his character becomes complete. He has no purpose in the world any more.

  • so is this movie comming out or no cuz i have a heard alot of stuff saying its not coming out

  • why would it not come out? they have a trailer for it. so it would be too late to say for it not to come out

  • lol Yeah seriously that is a dumb question Smack Bleach one more time flubber

  • Youre all dumbasses. He's referring to the copyright case with fox. People are saying it might be delayed since fox wants to make a small profit from this amazing looking movie.

  • Youre all dumbasses. He's referring to the copyright case with fox. People are saying it might be delayed since fox wants to make a small profit from this amazing looking movie.

  • The new trailer is coming out with the "Quantum of Solace."

  • Youre all dumbasses. He's referring to the copyright case with fox. People are saying it might be delayed since fox wants to make a small profit from this amazing looking movie.

  • I think this movie is going to be a huge box office bust. Not because it's going to be a bad movie but just because I don't think the general movie going puplic are going to get it. Remember what happened to DUNE? I pray I'm horribly wrong. However, I doubt I am.

  • unfortunatly i agree

    i just hope jack earle harley or w/e his name is makes rorschach as badass as he was in the book or imma be pissed and dr manhattan better talk funny or else

  • I don't think so. Consider the script that 300 used in it's movie. Even though 300 had a script that sounded like it was written by a 12 year old, it did really well because all the gore and awesome fight scenes. Imagine those same kind of fight scenes with an intelligent script and unique characters like watchmen. I think it'll become a pop culture hit that a lot of people will enjoy.

  • I take your point and I hope you're right. However, an intelligent script is the average movie patron's kryptonite.

  • oh man i hope the use the black frieghter story

  • Rumor has it that the Black Freighter is being made and is going to be part of the DVD release.

    True or not.... *Shrugs* It´s what i heard.

  • yeah thats what i heard too. That sucks if it means that it wont be in the film at all. They should at least show it to a small extent, even if they show two short clips it would be so much better than none. I understand that things have to be cut for a resonable movie time but it is such an important part of the depth of this story.

  • whats the black freighter?

    i havent read the graphic novel yet, im planning on buying it soon

  • u'll find out once u read the book

  • he i'm like u i'm going to buy it too :D

  • TheTales of the Black Freighter is due to DVD release one week after Watchmen hits theaters, after the realease of the Watchmen DVD, there will be a release of Watchmen spliced with Tales of the Black Frieghter clips.

  • Haha, has anyone heard Alan Moore's reply to Snyder saying "...I hope he says it doesn't suck too bad"? He said something like "Well I'll never fucking watch it!"

  • Haha, yeah. Since then he has watched it though, and says it's the best adaptation he could have imagined. :O

  • moore hates what they do to his books when they make them movies with VERY good reason. if he actually watched it that alone would make it the best comic movie of all time. if moore liked it that would mean it needs the best picture oscar. i know thats kind weird to say for a comic movie but dont forget that the book is good enough that if done right it would be that caliber of movie

  • Fingers crossed for Zack. xxx

  • Watchman maynot even come out, cuz FOX is being Big dicks!

  • it will still come out but Fox just wants a big cut of the money. But the Movie has been made, and already done with filming, probably in editing

  • If It doesn't come out, heaven forbid, we're starting a riot, and stealing the movie someway

  • count me in. i wanna see this fucking movie. the book is the best ive ever read.

  • Don't forget me. I can get several crowds. But I really doubt that it won't come out. It's a damn good book and movie.

  • If Snyder is in his 40's then he is definitely a kid at heart. I admire that.

  • Well, yeah, Gerard Butler has a part.... but if what I hear is correct then you won't see him 'til the Watchmen DVD comes out! Cause he's gonna be cast as that pirate guy in the "Black Freighter" side comic!

    Anyway, it's good to see Zack Snyder doesn't harbor illusions that Moore will like it. It shows he's conscious of how Moore regards adaptations of his works. He seems pretty confident about Watchmen's direction. So who knows, it may be a good movie. M-O-V-I-E.

  • thank god its 3 hours bc it would suck if you didnt get in all the content

  • ya but i heard that they didn't get all the stuff in so in the dvd release i think it would be like 6 hours lol so i'm definitely getting the dvd

  • He's awesome and a perfect choice for Watchmen

  • no way. this is the best director it could have had. he gets the essence and style of comics and is true to the original book.

  • Thank God Tom Cruise isn't in it.

  • how old is this guy? God the trailer 4 300 looked soo good and then u c the film and its like..wtf??

  • he is in his 40,s

  • oh no!!!! oh no!!!! zack how can u speak so remorselessly about the greatest graphic novel ever and discount it down to 'another kind of superhero genre'? just saw the trailer and it looked awesome, but if this is what zack's view is, just a different kind of spiderman, man this is guaranteed to suck!!!

    I just hope, seriously hope, and pray, that this one doesn't suck. I love watchmen too much to see it being murdered!!!!

  • He didn't discount it, he is saying that its a re-telling of the super hero genre which is what the watchmen is.

  • Myself I'd call Watchmen more a re-defining of the entire superhero genre that examines and dissects all the conventions of that genre.

  • 3 hours whoohoooo

  • What the hell, man. I sincerely doubt that ANY Watchmen fan who gets handed the job of adapting it to film is gonna fuck it up to work for Hollywood.

  • is he really that young and makeing movies?

  • If you don't want to see the movie than don't go see it...I just finished reading Watchmen last night and I can't wait to see the movie...

  • has anyone considered that tom cruise might have pulled out of watchmen after learning of moore's scepticism about scientology? think that had anything to do with it? or maybe he just couldn't stomach the idea of playing a megalomaniac!

  • Who, Ozy? I can sorta see that, to be honest.

  • 3 hour movie, thats not that bad

  • its too much story that could not fit into a movie. and it shouldnt be shortened. every little detail is necessary to the novels plot.

    who gives this guy the right to make a movie with such a hardcore following into a 2 hour mainstream hollywood movie?? and without proper permission from moore? FUCK IT!! i hope it doesnt tarnish watchmens image

    who agrees?!?!?!?

    long live rorschach !!!!

  • Yes, it is a lot of words in the graphic novel, but it can still work. Plus 2 1/2 - 3 hours isn't that bad for the 12 chapters of Awesome.

    (cough) 300 (cough)

    And the last thing I don't 100% agree with you is that Rorschach is dead... get over it. It was a sad end to such a great character, but the tears have been shed and it's time to move on.

  • Zack Snyder looks like Mark Ruffaolo a bit...

  • ZACK Snyder looks and sounds like ZACH Braff. Just had to say it. Good director tho

  • Im glad he said its goin to be a long movie, some hope that it mite be good at least.

  • I read that Alan Moore's not even gonna watch the movie.

  • ffffffffffffffffffffffffff better be 14a in canada

  • In all fairness, Zack hasnt really done anything bad. Dawn of the dead was a damn good remake and i love zombie films, 300 wasnt amazing but it wasnt shit.

    The problem is, dont have to much high hopes. I think its going to be good... thats all, it cant be bad and he is sticking to it a much as he can.

  • lets hope so

  • lol, worst interviewer ever. and bless zack for doing his damndest not to pull any punches and at least being realistic about it, his highest hopes is that alan won't think it sucks, he's not fluffing it up into something it's not, filling it with appealing A-list actors, cutting it short or making it pg-13, people need to really get the fuck off his ass.

  • So does that mean Kenny is a rapist?

    & Wendy would in fact be his daughter? LOL

    No wonder he never tries to get with her???

    It all makes sense now.. hahahaha

  • Cluebert puts together a good argument by comparing South park to Watchmen..

    I never thought of it like that. lol
