Watching the Watchmen Episode #1 Silk Spectre II and Dr Manhattan

about Silk Specter and Doctor Manhattan.

Malin Åkerman as Laurie Juspeczyk / Silk Spectre II: Åkerman described her character as the psychology and the emotion of the film due to being the only woman among the men. The actress worked out and trained to fight for her portrayal of the crimefighter.Åkerman's latex costume and wig, which often stuck into the latex, did not permit a lot of protection when performing stunts, and she often bruised herself during filming. Åkerman pronounced Juspeczyk as "Juice-peck-it".

Billy Crudup as Dr. Jon Osterman / Doctor Manhattan: A superhero with genuine powers who works for the U.S. government. The role was once pursued by actor Keanu Reeves, but the actor abandoned his pursuit when the studio held up the project over budget concerns. As well as playing Osterman in flashback as a human, for his post-accident scenes as Dr. Manhattan, Crudup is replaced in the film with a motion-capture CG version of himself. During filming, Crudup acted opposite his co-stars, wearing a white suit covered in blue LEDs, so he would give off an otherworldly glow in real life, just as the computer-generated Manhattan does in the movie. Crudup had to keep thinking of the character in the comic, because he felt ridiculous in the suit. Crudup deemed it fortunate he did not have to wear prosthetics or fit into a rubber costume like the other actors though, and would remind them of this when they made jokes about his appearance. Snyder chose not to electronically alter Crudup's voice for Manhattan, explaining the character "would try and put everyone as much at ease as he could, instead of having a robotic voice that I think would feel off-putting".

Heh.... and here I was believing that the actor was simply shot naked and then they added the blue glowing effect later. I'm feeling so naive right now.

This movie was awesome and I loved the tragedy of Dr. Manhattans character. I can understand how someone after a while would just stop caring and get tired of being wrapped up in the affairs of the world.
