I love this book. It doesn't need to be a movie. Frankly, I don't see why Alan Moore keeps letting people make films of his work! None of them have worked out. In fact, they've all been trainwrecks. V for Vendetta looks -horrid-.

Moore's run on Swamp Thing is considered a high water mark.

Moriarties diatribe aside, I still think it's a bad idea to make this into a movie. The original art form was enough. It doesn't need the eventual "retelling" it will surely get. It has form and substance and lends itself well to the media in which it was originally presented.

That's a totally legitimate stance. And I lean towards agreeing with you.
That said, I am adamantly of the opinion that Alan Moore's works, and any other narrative work in any other medium, can be made into a respectible film given the right people working on it without suits calling the creative shots. You'll never get a completely faithful translation, as the mediums tell their narratives differently, but you can retain the spirit and intent and as much of the story as is necessary.
I purposefully avoided reading V for Vendetta until after I saw the film so I could watch the movie objectively. Now I'm ready to read the trade and decide which I like more. I can't do that with Watchmen, but at least the project seems to keep landing in the hands of people who express an interest and doing the project right.
Of course, doing it right would make the suits very uneasy.
But yeah, it probably ought to stay in it's medium. The reality is that too many compromises will likely have to take place. Perhaps the decision will ultimately be decided upon V's box office totals.
Without reading any comics, I can say that this argument would be moot if hollywood would accept some new ideas. It's getting seriously stale down there. When I went to see V for Vendetta, there were 5 previews- 2 remakes and 3 sequels. Pathetic.

While I would love to see more original content, Hollywood is first and foremost a business, and so they make the kinds of films that generate profit. Blame the parents who took their kid to see Shrek 2 four times. If people didn't go see or buy these films, they wouldn't be making them. Occasionally, they get bit, like with Bewitched last summer. But by the time that usually happens, a new popular trend has come through.
Some of the blame for remakes also has to lay with the current youth, most of whom can't be bothered to watch older films. So that leaves a huge door open for modernizations and profit. The Hills Have Eyes is a great example of this, and it's not even 30 years old. You can just rent the original!

My prediction is that the next trend will be Theatrical Re-releases. They'll probably re-mix the sound for Dolby Digital and maybe include some scenes cut from the original theatrical release.
Having read Watchmen, I'd like to see it as a film, but the problem is that it takes place back in the 80s and Hollywood would update it to 2000+ standards. Then the story would lose something.

He was slated to be Ozymandias for a short while, apparently. He and Snyder thought that his status as a celebrity would play very will into that specific role. I can see where they were coming from, too, though I'm glad it didn't happen.

If you're going to go that role, take Brad Pitt instead of the crazy midget.

It will supposedly be announced at Comic Con this year that Billy Crudup has landed the role of Dr. Manhattan. That makes three actors - Crudup, Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley - that are involved in the project, as opposed to hiring stars. Interesting.

Ah my poor geek brain can't wait until March...
Saw the trailer with the new Bond tonight. It started and I whooped and clapped. The only person in the theater to do so.
Looks dark, kinda scary, Rorshach (sp?) looks over-wraught, yay! Just like the graphic novel!
There appears to be a love interest thing, which I don't remember in the original story, but eh. You've got to do something to bring the chicks in I guess.
I saw the trailer for this ahead of the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. The Watchmen is something that I believe I want to see.
Getting rid of the squid is a good call. It's much too esoteric and won't fit into a film no matter how you work it.

QuoteTHE BRITISH star of new superhero movie Watchmen has launched a foul-mouthed tirade against fans of the graphic novel who questioned his casting.
MATTHEW GOODE plays Andrew Veidt/Ozymandias in the movie, expected to be one of the biggest hits of 2009.
But the 30-year-old actor – who has previously appeared in Match Point and Brideshead Revisited – went on the offensive after learning hardcore fans are saying he doesn't suit the character before even watching the film.
He said: "The negative feedback is relayed by my friends. I think the fanboys aren't particularly happy – there are a load of people they'd have rather had in before me.
"It's already being slated before they've seeing anything.
"But if fanboys still hate the film after going and seeing it, they can all line up and s*** my d***.
"I don't give a f***."

Dude, the amount of that junk was slightly disturbing. Especially the way it wobbled.
I liked the movie, but it did have its slow spots.
I saw this last night.
I thought it was good. The music selection was very spot on even during the odd sex scene in Archie. It really could have been about 20-30 minutes shorter, but overall, I liked it. There were a few people that walked out.
I've never read the novel, but from I was told about the ending, I think that the movie ending was better. It has a lot less WTFness.
And best line? When Rorschach is in prison and says, "I'm not locked in here with you! You're locked in here with ME!". That got major cheers.
Finished reading last night.
I liked it, it was good. I'll probably see the movie this weekend.

Overall I enjoyed the movie. I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
your avatar is amazing.
Finished it last night. Ending didn't satisfy so much, but that might improve upon another viewing. It just felt very abrupt compared to the pacing of everything that came before it.
I didn't think Malin Akerman killed the film at all. The guy playing Nixon was a bit too cartoonish for me.

Malin Akerman did fine. It's not as if the Silk Spectre II was an incredibly deep character.
Oh yea, one thing I couldn't help but think: Thank god Zack Snyder didn't want to make League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Such a travesty of a film.
Have you read the source material?

You mean King Solomon's Mines, Tom Sawyer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Grey? ;) Yes. (well, 3/5 of them anyway)
I have not, however, read the graphic novel/comic book/whatever they based the movie on.

I just noticed that Stephen Norrington hasn't been allowed to direct another film since.

The graphic novel pulls NO punches.
Quartermaine is fished out of an opium den. Hyde is a savage murderer w/ no respect for life. The invisible man is a thief, rapist, and all around see you next tuesday. Mina is no g-d vampire, simply a woman who survived a horrific ordeal with the scars to prove it.
The movie had -none- of this. The dirtyness was polished away along with any chance at character development. Characters like Tom Sawyer and Dorian Gray were added to, in my opinion, include more pretty people.
The scene where they all put their hands out for the "lets come together and beat the bad guy from Moulin Rouge" made me throw my bag of skittles at the screen.

Yea...about that:
On December 14, 2008, Stephen Norrington announced in Variety that he planned to write and direct a "reinvention" of The Crow. Norrington distinguished between the original and the remake: "Whereas Proyas' original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style."[2] Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media is currently negotiating with Ed Pressman for both the film's rights and financing.TL;DR - I like the crow and I was a fan of BSG so I'm going to ape that style!

Is there really an audience for another Crow film? Even the straight to video releases didn't fair that well.

am cry
A friend of mine was Silk Jupiter or whatever the crap she's called for Halloween, so I eventually decided to watch this to figure out who the hell she was. Good lord, this movie was one of the longest pieces of dreck I've ever seen. Except the big blue dong, that was entertaining.
I bought the novel a few weeks ago.
So far, it's great. Will have to watch the movie again after...which will probably be months from now.
Have I told my story about watching this movie?
We rented it. I thought it was ok, but my wife didn't like it. Until the sex scene with The Owl guy and the hot chick that broke up with huge blue dick guy. She thought that was hot.
So the short story is, I never finished watching it.
Dude.
When did Junto become the place for people to tell stories of getting so turned on by non-porn sex scenes that they had to either have sex or jerk off?
Gross.
Unless we're talking about that hot love scene in Brokeback Mountain. Had to go to the bathroom in the movie theater after that one!
(that last part is a lie)

Junto became that RIGHT NOW.
In the movie "Election" there is a sex scene with Mathew Broderick that I always thought was hot. Too bad the rest of the movie sucked.
The sex scene in Amelia, where is she is laying there bored, is good too. Not so much because it's "hot", but more because I can relate to it.
If you don't mention Secretary, then you know nothing of hot sex scenes.
But still.
I get that we all get turned on and we all get laid. I don't need the mental imagery to go with it.

I have not seen Secretary.
It's not like I painted a vivid picture. It's not like I said "It all started on a hot summer day. The cup, my cup, had no idea what was in store for it..."
You're not the only culprit here. :)
I'm just giving you a hard time.
OMG I SAID HARD TIME. Keep it in your pants.

too late *fap* *fap* *fap*
The blue dong is pretty spectacular in HD.
You all are missing the point. I am reading a graphic novel.
Me. Dottie.
What I learned from this thread:
Everyone likes sex, some people don't like to talk about it.
Some people are actually rather uptight about sex but pretend they really aren't.
There's a dude with a really big blue dong in The Watchmen
Dots is reading a graphic novel.
Wait... Election sucked?
eo sent me 5 comic books (not Watchman, Scott Pilgrim), I'm still on the first one -- there's so much to look at that even though there's so little reading, they take much longer than I had expected.

sucks may have been too strong a word. it just wasn't that good to me.
if Matthew Broderick isn't hacking things or skipping school he just isn't believable.
