Last year I wrote about the upcoming Watchmen movie to be directed by Zack Snyder. Today, I finally saw a trailer.
I've been had by trailers before, so there's still a chance that the actual movie might still suck.
But still I'm an optimist. When I first saw the trailer in High-definition Quicktime, I knew I had to make a comparison of the shots in the trailer and panels in the actual Watchmen comics. Then I thought, why not do it here in this weblog.
Enough gab. Enjoy the images, starting with Mister Blake here:
Here's the Comedian during the Vietnam War.
Jon returns, after a fashion:
Doctor Manhattan takes Vietnam:
Walter burns stuff:
The Owlship rises:
Despite the look of this scene, it's not even close to the climax of the story. Jon's fortress rises up from the plains of Mars:
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout, "Save us."
And I'll look down and whisper, "No!"
