of course he is going to shoot her. Look on the imdb pics of the movie. There is clearly a pic of him pointing his gun at her in a bar in nam. He is going to redefine evil in a movie like this.

[spacemanvt]

yeah those posters are nasty!

i like rorsach's one.

[Leeacto]

Do you guys think that the Ozy poster gives away part of the end? or is this just hindsight talking to me?

[sybaritical]

Yeah yeah, but y'all missing the main event.

Real question is, who's gonna have the best butt. Laurie Juspeczyck or Dr Manhattan?

Hmmmn.

PS:

OH YEAH. The Comedian needs to be Burly not all tanned and toned like the fruit in the trailer. Comedian was an old man who fought in WW2 and Korea, not a leathered up contemporary Brad Pittalike from the Matrix.

I found it humorous how as time went on in the story Manhattan kept on decreasing his clothing until he was just like "fuck clothes" lol

I'm sort of disappointed in Rorschach's voice. Yeah, it's sorta grimey, but I always imagined it as some real creepy shit.

Granted it's only a little soundbite, but for me at least his voice was a pretty integral. Hopefully this doesn't mean he'll be shot as just a hardline vigilante type instead of a half crazy, slum living, hardline vigilante (slopping down a cold can of pork and beans).

[IM SOLE CRAZY]

Yeah true

Saw the trailer at the IMAX last night.

Tried to buy tickets on the way out.

Dave Gibbons talking shit and loving life with time mag. Pretty good, from the quick read it is i feel like they might be doing better than we could all hope, which i hope to god, allah, buddah, is the case.

Just read Snyder is slightly "reworking" the ending of the film, and that a certain something wasn't in the final script.

For those interested:

^first 1989 script - Sam Hamm

^2003 script - David Hayer

Working on getting the somewhat final Alex Tse script uploaded.

I'm pretty excited for the movie, the trailers look pretty spot on w/ the exception of some costuming, etc.

Snyder seems to want to be as faithful to the story as possible in the time given and i'm glad that the Black Freighter storyline will be included as a full feature on the DVD release.

Is the movie still in distribution limbo though? Or have they set a firm date for release? :confused:

[sushijerk]

I think it is slated for march next year now, as opposed to december this year like it was originally. From a certain perspective this holiday season sucks. Harry Potter pushed back, Watchmen pushed back... I can honestly care less about Bond or that Benjamen Button movie. Kinda curious about Australia.

[sushijerk]

New trailer.

Did they change Rorschach's voice? Sounds exactly like Batman now.

new trailer is out, shows little ror, fun times.

also, new comic-con footage on itunes. it's good stuff, but it doesn't do all that much to let people in on the story. since it was for comic peeps i'm not surprised. still looks damn good and we get a look at a few more of the characters.

[jack napier]

holy fuck, rorschach's voice sucks so fucking much.

i was tempted to see it before this new trailer, but now it seems pretty certain that alan moore is right.

on the bright side of things, this poster is probably going to be my favourite part of this whole ordeal. for obvious reasons.

People believing the hype yet?

[jeepster]

I like that viral bit a lot...

Have we discerned whether the ending really was changed after all, or are they sticking to the general gist of the book?

[Charlie Delta]

General gist, but changes have been made, is the last thing I read.

[spacemanvt]

im getting pretty amped. usually i would wait for the dvd but i will go see this at the theater. somehow even with the hacked up plot and diff ending i am still excited to see my fav graphic novel come to life.

[sushijerk]

The ending is changed. At the least there is definitely no teleported squid/alien. Everything else seems to be pretty spot on though.

Tried to make it to Comic-con and buy tickets for the advance screening event but that shit sold out too quick.

[spacemanvt]

sushijerk is a funny screenname
