We Watch The Watchmen, That's Who!
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's seminal 1986 series Watchmen is headed to the silver screen and the first pictures of the cast have popped up. Not due until March of 2009, this is far from the last we'll be seeing of the film. I'm sure we'll get a teaser with The Dark Knight and a full blown trailer in November, but until then these photos will have to do.
March seems like an odd time to release such a big ticket film, but it seemed to work well for Snyder's last comic book adaptation, 300.
After taking an eyefull of Mathew Goode as Ozymandias hit the jump to check out the full cast in their regalia.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian
Patrick Wilson as Nite Owl
Jackie Earle Haley as Rorshach
Malin Åkerman as The Silk Spectre

These are nice.
I'm starting to have high hopes for this movie. And hopefully it doesn't let me down.
(Does that count as an even higher hope?)
Okay I was worried when the film was announced. Would they match the look and feel of the material or toss it out and make another Catwoman like film?
I am now more optimistic - I have had the pleasure of working very briefly with Mr. Wilson on a small event in NYC and he is no where to be seen in that photo above. A great transformation!
Yep - it seems they are happily sticking with what worked about the book so far.
it looks cool, but will they keep the ending the same? No spoilers, but the ending doesn't seems like it is mainstream movie friendly.
This better be the "Before" shots.
I don't see either Silk Spectre or Night Owl being in their mid life crisis period. That was my draw for some reason. They are treading very close to "bat nipple".

It also worked for the previous adaptation of Alan Moore's work, V For Vendetta.
