This could be...good? I just heard that Miller's also working on a Batman series called "Holy Terror, Batman!" Can you guess the staring villain? Trick question--it stars Al Qaeda, and Batman is practically cast as Captain effing America. According to Wiki, he called it a piece of propaganda, straight up, no irony. He's also an outspoken supporter of the war in Iraq. That sort of makes 300 all the more suspect and it seems related to Allan Moore's (writer of The Watchmen) criticism of Miller's predictable and excessive use of "tough guys" in his work.
Quoted: Official Movie Website - WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister FRANK MILLER creator of 300 and SIN CITY

Has anyone seen this? I can't tell if it would be interesting or if I would hate it. Either way I would like to see it.
Quoted: Whether you love him or hate him, there is no question that George W. Bush is one of the most controversial public figures in recent memory. In an unprecedented undertaking, acclaimed director Oliver Stone is bringing the life of our 43rd President to the big screen as only he can. W. takes viewers through Bush’s eventful life — his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to Bush’s decision to invade Iraq.

The first trailer for The Watchmen flic was just released today. I'm totally skeptical that anything worthwhile can be pulled off as far as an adaptation goes, but I'll probably end up seeing it when it comes out. Some of the characters look dead on (Dr. Manhattan, Nite-Owl, Silk Spectre, Rorschach), but Ozymandias and The Comedian look pretty lame and unconvincing. Aside from those issues, it seems impossible for the film to include all of the non-plot related details that make the graphic novel so enticing.

wut? i've heard lots of good things about this film (apparently naomi klein and jeremy scahill are backing it), but this trailer has to be the worst possible trailer that could have been done for it...

i'm torn. watchmen is awesome. seeing it done well on film would be awesome. and then there's this....which makes me think that it can't be done well...
Quoted: In an interview with Variety's Danny Graydon during Warner Bros.'s first possession of feature film rights for Watchmen, the graphic novel's writer Alan Moore adamantly opposed a film adaptation of his comic book, arguing, "You get people saying, 'Oh, yes, Watchmen is very cinematic,' when actually it's not. It's almost the exact opposite of cinematic." Moore said that Terry Gilliam, preparing to direct Watchmen for Warner Bros. at the time, had asked Moore how the writer would film it. Moore told Graydon about his response, "I had to tell him that, frankly, I didn't think it was filmable. I didn't design it to show off the similarities between cinema and comics, which are there, but in my opinion are fairly unremarkable. It was designed to show off the things that comics could do that cinema and literature couldn't."[22]

i'm not sure about Ozymandias' costume, but the rest look pretty faithful to the drawings in the book. now let's hope they don't skull-fuck the plot.
