Dave Gibbons On the Forthcoming Watchmen Movie
An anonymous reader writes "Den Of Geek has been talking to comics legend Dave Gibbons about the upcoming transition of the Watchmen from the comic book to the silver screen. 'There are hardcore fans out there who'll be satisfied with nothing less than a word-for-word, line-for-line, scene-for-scene recreation of the comic book. I didn't believe that was ever going to happen.'" It's a rather short interview, but Gibbons addresses some interesting elements of both the movie and comic-book worlds.
See ya tomorrow
just saw a trailer for starship troopers 3 yesterday. the people responsible for it should be killed. slowly and painfully.
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
Looks like its going to suck. Bad actors, the director is a dweeb, the special effects are going to be laughable.
With production values this bad, who will watch The Watchmen?
There was a Starship Troopers 2??
Yes. And I fondly recall all the product placement that Isaac used to do in "I, Robot" and his others novels...
They killed Matt Damon and Leonardo de Caprio. Its the happiest ending I've seen since Titanic, which only killed one of the two, but sort of poisoned the festive mood with thousands of people (who weren't Leonardo di Caprio) dying in the background.
Now how is Hollywood going to top that... I have an idea: Oceans 14. We put in Matt Damon, Leonardo de Caprio, George Clooney, and any many who has ever even considered being in an "Oceans #{i += 1}" movie, and then at the end of the daring casino caper we kill them all. I would pay to see that twice, and then buy the DVD so I could skip straight to the good part.
In fact, forget the casino caper, that part tends to drag anyhow. Tell you what -- they break in 2 seconds into the movie, it turns out the pit boss is River Tam, and the next 90 minutes is filled with non-stop star killing.
Help poke pirates in the eyepatch, arr.
