JoBlo has the premiere of the second Watchmen production video. If you remember, one video will be released each month on the 6th until the film premieres on March 6th 2009. The latest video is about the costume design in the film. Not as interesting as the set design, but hey, we have nine [...]

Watchmen director Zack Snyder has launched a new contest on YouTube where fans of the comic book and upcoming film adaptation can create Veidt ads which might be used to fill the many monitors screens in  the movie. How cool is that? Fans actually might get to create something that will show up on screen [...]

A couple days ago, we got our first look at Rorschach and Nite Owl, two of the Watchmen Action figures from DC Direct. The other two figures have now been unveiled at the New York Comic-Con. ActionFigureInsider brings us the above photo of the action figure prototypes for Silk Spectre and Ozymandias. Just as Night [...]

The figures will hit stores in January 2009, and will retail for around $14.99 each. I want them. Interesting trivia learned from wikipedia: Because DC Direct [...]

Warner Bros has produced 12 video production blogs chronicling the making of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. The first video blog takes a look at some of the sets from the upcoming film.

The faux army patch pictured above was passed out to the cast and crew of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, following the conclusion of an epic paintball battle on the New York Backlot, which involved smoke bombs, paint grenades, and “automatic rifles that rattled windows and left fluorescent dotted lines of fire along walls.” According to a [...]

22-Year-Old artist Evan Shaner wondered what it would be like if Carlie Brown cartoonist Charles Schulz created the Watchmen. The drawing above includes Charlie Brown as Doctor Manhattan, Linus as The Comedian, Schroeder as Ozymandias, Lucy as Silk Spectre, Snoopy as Rorschach, and Pigpen as Nite Owl.

Watchmen comes out exactly one year from today, and to celebrate Zack Snyder has released the first batch of character photos from the film. I’m not quite sold on the costuming, but I guess its a fair contemporary adaptation of the comic book characters. Night Owl looks like a complete rip-off of Christopher Nolan’s Batman [...]

Who’s watching the Watchmen? Maybe no one…
A couple days ago in my posting about Roy Scheider’s death, I brought up the rule of threes, explaining how things in life usually happen in groups of three. Yesterday was the day of Hollywood lawsuits. It started with the Tolkien Estate suing New Line over Lord of the [...]

While the film is still a risky proposition, all buzz surrounding and emanating from Zack Snyder’s Watchmen has thus far been positive. Actress Carla Gugino (Sin City) offered more than the requisite “it’s been fantastic” remark in a recent encounter with MTV, parlaying info about her superheroine, campy fox Sally Jupiter aka Silk Spectre, and [...]

Director Zack Snyder has posted the two storyboards viewed below for his 2009 tent pole, Watchmen, on the film’s official website. The storyboards, which map out scenes with Rorschach, can be seen as yet another gage of how faithful Snyder is staying to Alan Moore’s championed graphic novel. Snyder goes into considerable detail about this [...]

The negative side of the cool viral marketing that the studios is doing is what people the Alternate Reality Gaming world call Gamejacks. The Cloverfield craze saw the emergence of Evan Haas and a few other sites which attempted to capitalize on the hype behind JJ Abrams’ mysterious monster flick. I’m usually hesitant to report [...]
