    		 So one of the most influential graphic novels is finally coming to the big screen. For those of you who have seen the trailer, what do you think?

    For those who don't know, Watchmen as a book is really great. Check it out. It's inspired the Incredibles. :D

      Looks damn good. I hope they cover enough ground.

        		 I'm psyched. The Smashing Pumpkins song got me going, and when Rorschach started reading his journal.

          		 The movie looks great. The Black Ship story is going to be animated and released on DVD the Tuesday before the movie comes out. It'll be a tie-in. But I'm really looking forward to this movie. Watchmen is one of the most influential books ever.

            		 This movie looks pretty good by the trailer.

                  I don't think we'll have to worry about that, since Snyder is a big Watchmen fan. From what I've read on the blogs and such, he knows what he's doing and will do the book justice. I highly doubt this will be one of those movies were the trailers show the only good parts of the film.

                    		 Actually "V For Vendetta" and "From Hell" were awesome! this looks like a winner and looks like "Dick Tracy" meets "X-Men".

                      I was just referring to comic to movie inaccuracies I guess. It was an okay film. The same goes for the League for Extraordinary Gentlemen.

                      Anyways, you need to read the book man. It's deep. It's more like Incredibles. Which is more like it really...

                              		 Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will publish WATCHMEN, an episodic downloadable game based on the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures’ film for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC in 2009.

                              The game captures the action and intrigue of the “Watchmen” feature film, directed by Zack Snyder, who previously helmed the blockbuster “300.” The screenplay for “Watchmen” is by David Hayter and Alex Tse, based on the award-winning graphic novel illustrated by Dave Gibbons and published by DC Comics. The film is produced by Lawrence Gordon (“Die Hard”), Lloyd Levin (“United 93”) and Deborah Snyder (“300”), with Herbert W. Gains (“The Brave One”) and Thomas Tull (“The Dark Knight”) serving as executive producers. “Watchmen” is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures in association with Legendary Pictures.

                              A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, “Watchmen” will take us to the brink of destruction. In alternate 1985 America – in which costumed superheroes are not only real but have ultimately been outlawed – one former hero goes looking for the truth behind the murder of one of his own, but uncovers a devastating conspiracy to drag the world implacably closer to its own end.

                              Playing the film’s core group of “masks,” the masked adventurers at the center of the story, are Malin Akerman (“The Heartbreak Kid”), Billy Crudup (“The Good Shepherd”), Matthew Goode (“Match Point”), Carla Gugino (“Night at the Museum”), Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley (“Little Children”), Stephen McHattie (“Shoot ‘em Up”), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy”), and Patrick Wilson (“Little Children”).

                              “We’re bringing the Watchmen universe to gamers in a distinct episodic game revealing action and combat for a great overall experience for fans,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The filmmakers have been extremely helpful in developing the high-quality game story and we are working to match the outstanding visual style of the film.”

                              The videogame based on WATCHMEN will go beyond the film and delve into the characters, rivalries and challenges in a mature action-brawler. The game provides gamers with visceral superhero combat as urban vigilantes Rorschach and Nite Owl.

                              I suspect they're only doing this to piss off us fanboys. And Alan Moore, of course.
