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 [...]

Zack Snyder is hard at work shooting the big screen adaptation of Watchmen in Canada. Warner Bros has sent us a video diary introduction from Snyder, live from the set. He talks a little bit about the first week of shooting. And it looks like we’ll be seeing more of these as the production progresses. [...]

Zack Snyder (300, Dawn of the Dead remake) has signed on to direct an adaptation remake based on Ray Bradbury’s collection of short stories, The Illustrated Man.
This is part of a first look deal that Snyder and his wife signed following the success of 300. For some reason, I ‘m betting that this is one [...]

Carla Gugino has signed on to Zack Snyder’s big screen adaptation of Alan Moore’s classic graphic novel Watchmen. Gugino joins Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Matthew Goode, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Malin Akerman. Gugino will play Sally Jupiter, a burlesque dancer turned superhero named The Silk Spectre. She is part of the Minutemen, [...]

Zack Snyder made an appearance at Comic Con to promote his upcoming big screen adaptation of Watchmen. Snyder is one of those guys who talks in sound-bytes. Everything he says is interesting of relevant and he spits out the information in a rapid fire pace, at times almost like a Machine gun. I really tried [...]

Later this week at the San Diego Comic-Con, Zack Snyder is expected to reveal the cast for his upcoming big screen adaptation of the classic Alan Moore graphic novel Watchmen. But as we near our Wednesday afternoon flight to San Diego, actors names have started to leak onto the interwebs.

IESB reports that Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias will [...]

We didn’t fall in love with Zack Snyder’s 300 like everyone else, and kind of feel left out on that hole phenomena. Our friends at MadAboutMovies have posted some photos of the upcoming 300 2-disc gift box set. I can certainly appreciate a well made DVD release. Apparently this might be only available in Canada [...]

Rumor has it that Oscar nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley has been offered the part of Rorschach in Zack Snyder’s big screen adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel Watchmen. When Paul Greengrass was attached to direct the film, actor Paddy Considine was signed to play the part of the masked vigilante. But now Considine claims [...]

Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City), 300 loosely depicts the Battle of Thermopylae where Leonidas I (Gerard Butler) and three hundred Spartans took on Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his massive army of one million soldiers. Zack Snyder, the director of the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, creates [...]
