Amazing. Thank you! I can't believe this. From the trailer alone, this is already the greatest movie ever.

And I must say I am in love with Silk Spectre. Sorry, Dan.

Although Transformers II is gonna be Dope, Watchmen is going 2 be Movie of the year for me Next Year!

On A Side Note Would It Help If I Read The Graphic Novel? I'm Guessin YES!!!

G.O.A.T. book!

It's the only book that I've ever bought with my money. The rest is stolen, giving or I just read them from the library.

I was curious myself after watching the trailer for Watchmen close to one gazillion times just how it all matched up to the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons graphic novel and with ten examples I think you will get a pretty good idea of what Zach Snyder is going for and judge for yourself if he is on the right track or not. Personally, I think he has it nailed even though this appears to be a slick version of the comic, which is sure to create detractors, but after all is said and done it depends on how he condenses the 12 chapter novel into a 2:30 hour movie.

For now, let's just enjoy the caps and if you haven't watched the trailer yet you can do so right here.

It would help a lot. You'd get SO much more psyched on this movie, and understand all the little mythology. Let me just tell you, it has about two or three action scenes in the whole thing which makes it even better, cause it's all about character development, and you come to love/hate all of them, and it really blurs the lines between what society believes to be "good" and what is actually "good." Believe me, you'll love it, whether you like reading or not.

This is awesome, and it really does match some of my favorite scenes in the book.

The amazing trailer for "Watchmen" hit the net yesterday, and even if you watched it several times already, I bet you missed a secret easter egg that director Zack Snyder talked about with MTV News.

"[The assassin] has a gun," Snyder explained, remembering the difficult process of transforming his dark, R-rated film into a trailer for the masses. "So the MPAA said, 'Look you can't have him [holding the gun]' ... I don't even think it's one second. I think it's like 12 frames. He's pointing the gun at the camera, and they said, 'You can't do that.'"

For years, the MPAA has prohibited weapons from being pointed at the "viewer" in advertising, presumably for fear that it will freak them out. That's why you always see guns pointed at angles on movie posters and in film trailers.

"So we erased the gun," Snyder grinned. "And put a walkie-talkie in his hand."

As many filmgoers remember, Steven Spielberg famously re-released his family classic "E.T." in 2002 after using CGI to transform the gun-wielding federal agents into less-threatening agents holding walkie-talkies.

"It was a total Spielberg reference," laughed Snyder. "Because I was like, 'Well, it worked for Spielberg, so we should do that. Just put a walkie-talkie in his hand!' ...[The editors] were like, 'But then you cut to a real gun!’ but I'm like, 'No one will ever see that; they'll think he had a gun in the other shot, so it's fine.'"

Take a close look and you'll see the two shots at 1:30 in. The first shows a walkie-talkie, and then we see the gun.

"I was thinking about it afterwards, and I was like, "Damn, we should have given him a bouquet of flowers, or a box of candy," Snyder laughed. "Maybe next time."

Walkie-talking Angle

That scene in the book is awesome, purely because of the dialogue exchanged that totally sets up the scene.
