March 6th, 2008Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I stay up late editing a new vlog episode, and look what I miss!
Now that the film is exactly one year away, director Zack Snyder has posted some photos from the upcoming movie adaptation of Watchmen.

If these were released to get people excited about the movie, then it definitely worked on me. I have two questions, though:
1. Where’s Dr. Manhattan (played by Billy Crudup)?
2. In the book, the characters look really silly in their costumes. They realize it in their later years, even reminiscing on how ridiculous it was for adults to dress up in tights and run around fighting crime. For me, this adds something to whole aging-superhero theme of the novel.
The film costumes are updated (and look really good, IMHO), but do any of you think that they risk losing something by playing down how outlandish the whole concept is?

Looks soooo cool. Very very glad they didn’t give Ozymandias the horrific outfit he had in the comic; as much as I love the comic!
I think they had to tone it down, I mean the originals were a bit much for a general audience. And for me.

ok while all the guys are fully dressed, she’s in a latex bikini and thigh highs. that’s real practical.
