That would be one sweet cast, hopefully it's true, I really love Winslet and Fichtner.

Bleh, can't see this working in even a 3 hour movie. What difference is the casting really gonna' make when they cut out 50% of the source material.

[b]STOP THIS MADNESS[/b]
WATCHMEN FANS! This could be the end of a masterpiece. The only beneficial aspect of creating this on film is to convert others to the comics/graphic novels. Other than that, i am in total support of not putting this masterpiece on film. I have nothing personally against Zack Snyder or comic book movies, but i personally believe this film cannot cover all the intellect alan moore put into this story. Everyone posting comments read the alan moore story 'watchmen' (including the editor of this article) and realize how much will be left out from the film, how a major studio can basically have the 'final say' in the film making process and how the main themes can be destroyed. This is not just any comic book, this is a political work of fiction that does not need to be disturbed by Warner Brothers.

I think it's important to note that Alan Moore liked the script, and he's not exactly supportive of his work being adapted to the big screen (and with good reason). Still, he's also not going to see the movie, as he feels Watchmen is supposed to be read. As for myself, I'm cautiously optimistic about the movie.

A Little Children reunion is A-OK by me...fantastic movie. Though my reading of the book has yet to happen, I'm pining for Philip Baker Hall to play Nixon.

P.S.: That cast, true to the comic or not, is mind-blowing.

Big Watchmen fan, and I'd say this cast really look their parts, with Jude Law being a standout spot-on perfect.. he IS Ozymandias.

This is encouraging. For kicks, I'll second the opinion for PT Anderson directing.

David Caruso. And I really thought Gerard Butler was going to be the Comedian, since he worked with Snyder on 300. Oh well.
