Well, Rorschach himself is an ugly motherfucker, so if he's that unattractive than he's halfway there. He does need to grow some hair, though.

I just finished the graphic novel, and it was fucking astounding.  The ending blew my fucking mind.  I doubt they will truly capture the genius that is the comic book, but I hope they portray the same ending, because damn...
keep posting...

Yeah dude reading anything about the movie should make it really evident that it's set in 1985. Even in the trailer you see in the background RICHARD NIXON on the televisions right.

Well, I didn't analyze the trailer frame by frame looking for every possible hint or content, so I must have missed seeing Nixon.

Hollywood has a habit of "modernizing" movies because they assume that the average movie-goer cannot fathom something being set in the recent past (unless it is obviously in the past, like 300 B.C.)


EDIT:

especially since the trailer starts with "IN 2009, EVERYTHING WE KNOW WILL CHANGE"

Nah, I saw a press conference and Snyder seems to be a fan himself and he is going to be as faithful to the book as he can. I was nervous at first about the movie but it's shaping up to be quite good and close to the source material.

Dunno if you guys have been keeping up, but Warner Bros and Fox are going to court on Jan 6th over the rights to this film. I guess back in 1991 Fox bought some of the rights to the movie, and now Fox is trying to block the release. The court date is 2 months before the movie release date, so it's probably not going to hit theatres then, if at all.

Also, Alan Moore is a total psychopath and was quoted saying he'll be "spitting venom" all over the watchmen movie. Meaning he is unsupportive.  He apparently has never seen any of the adaptations of his work anyway, so I'm sure this is completely money related.

No he hates every adaptation to his shit because they are all terrible pretty much. He doesn't want any money from it.

if I was Moore I'd do the same thing. someone buying out movie rights to shit I never wanted to make into a movie because every single aspect I crafted in the story was directly related to the medium it was in? yeah I'd be pissed.

I dunno, I'd have to go the George Lucas route and see how many people I can get to love me regardless of whatever the fuck I do, then sell out like a motherfucker.

Best of both worlds, baby.

THEATRICAL TRAILER





Btw, dunno if this is good or bad news, but the ending has been changed! I guess Zack Snyder can translate pictures to film pixel for pixel, but when it comes to actual plot he's not up to the task. I'm still optimistic though, I think there had to be a good reason for it.
What was changed: SPOILER

If that ending change is the truth, if I ever see Zack Snyder I would punch him in the face. I mean, what the fuck? Watchmen is great, and he had the proper ending, why the fuck would he change it?

to make it a bit more realistic?

Maybe also for a different effect. What with it being parts of , it seems like its supposed to send some sort of cruel fate message or something.

That's what I was thinking.


It is just too damned ridiculous to keep everything word for word from the book, and then completely change the end. There has got to be a reason, NO ONE DOES THAT.

So either he fucked up the entire story, or he fucked up the ending which in turn would fuck up the story. I'll be going to see this anyway, but I hope to god it's true enough to the graphic novel. Nothing about movies sucks more than watching a movie that butchers one of your favourite books/comics/games etc.

Movies don't need to be realistic to be good movies.

i like how you guys are complaining about a COMPLETELY TRIVIAL aspect of the ending which doesn't actually change it at all or the way things happen.
