Watchmen creator Alan Moore is notorious for not being involved in the big screen adaptations of his comic book properties. Director Zack Snyder told fans at Comic Con last year that the best he can hope for is that Alan Moore will someday watch the DVD and say, “You know, they didn’t fuck it up [...]

Since the Watchmen trailer broke earlier today, the web has been going Watchmen crazy. First up, Watchmen graces the cover of the Comic Con edition of Entertainment Weekly (seen above), and is accompanied by a feature article with a bunch of new photos (like the photo below) from the film. Read that article now on [...]

The movie trailer for Zack Snyder’s big screen adaptation of Watchmen has hit the internet, just in case you can’t wait until that midnight screening of The Dark Knight.
I’m shocked at just how much footage Snyder shows us in this first trailer. Dr. Manhattan? The Night Owl Ship? Mars? It’s all right out of the [...]

Earlier today, Peter reported on the race to the screen between two new Greek mythology epics inspired by 300. The flip side of this news is that both director Zack Snyder and 300 producers, Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari (who are also producing one the aforementioned epics) confirmed to Collider at the Saturn Awards that [...]

Commercial filmmaker and visual artist Matthijs van Heijningen will make his directorial debut on the Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. Joby Harold (Awake) wrote the screenplay based on an original idea by Snyder. The story follows a father on a mission to save his daughter in a quarantined and zombie-infested Las Vegas. Snyder has [...]

Producer Donald De Line talked to Collider about Zack Snyder’s animated children’s film Guardians of Ga’Hoole, an adaptation of the 14 book bestselling kids series by author Kathryn Lasky and illustrator Richard Cowdry (the film is based on the first three books in the series). De Line described the tone of the film as [...]

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 [...]

Who saw this coming? Perhaps that’s Zack Snyder’s M.O. Snyder will follow-up his 2009 adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen with the animated kids film Guardians of Ga’Hoole, a feature adaptation based on the rather large (14 books and counting since 2003!) bestselling kids series by author Kathryn Lasky and illustrator Richard Cowdry. Variety reports that [...]

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 [...]

Production on the big screen adaptation of Watchmen has officially wrapped, and director Zack Snyder has posted a new still from the upcoming film. I’ve decided to put together a look at the evolution of one frame from the comic book, the the storyboard to the screen. Enjoy.

 Watchmen hits theaters on March 6th 2009.

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 [...]

Watchmen has surprised even the harshest of critics so far. Even original artist Dave Gibbons has praised the film’s production for it’s accuracy and amazing detail that Zack Snyder is putting into the big screen adaptation.
So what about creator Alan Moore, who has been extremely vocal in the past against the adaptations of his comics? [...]

Maxim has posted a photo comparison showing the differences between Zack Snyder’s recent Watchmen set photos and the original comic book panels. When the photos were released, I was amazed at the level of detail that went into the set construction. As you can see above, the newsstand is very accurate, and quite amazing when [...]

Look closely at the photo above.
It’s a vintage photo of New York City, right?
Nope! It’s a photo from the Vancouver, BC-based New York City backlot set of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. Snyder was kind enough to drop by the Watchmen website with some photos and fun facts about this amazing set. I’m extremely impressed with the [...]
