Actually, Pal Joey/Taxi Driver era Peter Boyle coulda made a great Rorschach. He's too old now.

He'd not be too bad a choice.

― Wooden (Wooden), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:30 (nineteen years ago) link

He does seem a little young and fresh faced though. Veidt, for all his ubermenschdom, seems to also need a weltzsmerch

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Is this as well as the Joy Division/Tulip Fever/etc. movies that he's rumoured to be in? My pick would have been Ralph Fiennes in Amon Goethe mode, but he's doing Voldemort.

Kudos to Jude for being the tattoo, though.

IMDB Entry. Not much info yet but Aronofsky's no longer involved by the looks of things.

TEH WATCHMEN

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 11 February 2005 15:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Screenplay by the voice of CAPTAIN AMERICA and SOLID SNAKE, fresh from his role as MUSEUM COP in X-MEN: TEH MOVIE.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 11 February 2005 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

An Akiva Goldsmith / Joe Ezsterhaus Prodcution

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 11 February 2005 15:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Screenplay by someone who wrote X-Men and X-Men 2, in fairness.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, that reassures me actually.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't get the IMDB page to open - is the director Philip Greenglass (dir. of The Bourne Supremacy), or am I confusing the Watchmen production w/ the V For Vendetta production?

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry - I just G00gl'd. It's PAUL Greengrass.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Paul Greengrass, but yeah, the Bourne Supremacy guy. I didn't see it.

Aronovsky left to do "The Fountain" which looks AWFUL, about a man's 1,000 year quest to find his true love. Sounds like sub-par Angel episodes to me.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 11 February 2005 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

But he wrote it, so it must be IMPORTANT. From what I can judge from the IMDB page, it's probably going to involve Wolverine making sweet love to Ellen Burstyn.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 11 February 2005 17:21 (nineteen years ago) link

THIS SUMMER - WATCH OUT FOR JUSTICE!!!

― Vic Fluro, Friday, 11 February 2005 20:25 (nineteen years ago) link

It would be amazing if the posters/trailers just have the smiley face with "Qui custodiet ipsos custodes?" underneath, instead of making it look too flashy or emphasize the actors too much.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 11 February 2005 20:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, a teaser poster that was, in essence, a copy of the cover of the first issue w/ the tagline (in English, preferably) would be really nice. (That'd be similar to the Batman teaser poster, actually, w/ just the logo & the date of release.) Or maybe the main characters in costume surrounding the button w/ their costume showing in some way, so we'd see the button and some distinguishing characteristics (blue feet, wings, fishnets, etc.), but no faces.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 11 February 2005 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Or maybe that last idea belongs in the "How to NOT Market The Watchmen Flick" thread.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 11 February 2005 20:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Christ Almighty, it's the goddamned Watchmen!

Part One of what should be a very interesting interview with Greengrass.

Oh dear, what a rubbish choice. Lucky it'll never happen.

I'm firmly with Chuck on this one.

And twas not even a disagreement over comics that wrought this terrible thing. Ah, the irony.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 31 March 2006 14:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I stand by my pick for the Mel Brooks version. There have been enough Superhero™ movies now that the market is ripe for a Superhero™ spoof, and Brooks is the master, and Watchmen is the ULTIMATE Superhero™ spoof text (though not actually funny). So, actually, a Brooks-directed Top Ten would be my actual choice IF I RAN THE ZOO.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 31 March 2006 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually, ILC shd probably be retconned & renamed PLANET HUK.

We should annex Comicboards.com! It will be a mighty display of ILC's superiority among comic book message boards.
