Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen? Priceless.

CHUD is reporting that Billy Crudup, who starred in Almost Famous and Mission: Impossible III, and is the voice of the MasterCard commercials, has been cast as Dr. Manhattan in Zack Snyder's Watchmen.

A very reliable source tells me that Snyder has settled on Crudup for the role of Watchmen's only super-powered character, a scientist who accidentally gets annihilated on an atomic level and reconstructs himself into a big, naked, blue, floating demigod.

Visit the link above for more on this. The movie is based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's graphic novel.

Watchmen Cast Confirmed!
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
July 25, 2007


Warner Bros. Pictures has confirmed the cast for Watchmen, the big screen adaptation of the seminal DC Comics limited series.

Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Matthew Goode, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Grey's Anatomy") and Malin Akerman will star in the Warner Bros. movie, which Zack Snyder is directing. Larry Gordon, Lloyd Levin and Deborah Snyder are producing.

Set in an alternate America, Watchmen follows costumed hero Rorschach, who is living a vigilante lifestyle because most masked heroes have retired or been outlawed. While investigating a murder, Rorschach learns that a former masked-hero colleague has been killed, prompting him to begin investigating a possible conspiracy.

Haley will play Walter Kovacs, aka Rorschach, who ignores the ban on costumed vigilantes.

Crudup will play Dr. Manhattan, a superpowered being with godlike powers and temperament.

Akerman will play Laurie Juspeczyk/the Silk Spectre, who is involved with Dr. Manhattan -- but that relationship begins to fall apart as he becomes more disconnected from humanity.

Goode will play Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias, a costumed adventurer who retired voluntarily, disclosed his identity and built a large fortune. He hatches a plot to avert a global catastrophe he believes will be caused by Dr. Manhattan.

Wilson will play the Nite-Owl, a crime-figher who uses technical wizardry and has an owl-shaped flying vehicle.

Morgan will play the Comedian, a cigar-chomping, gun-toting vigilante-turned-paramilitary agent.

Watchmen was created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Shooting is set to start in the fall in Vancouver, with Snyder employing many of the filming techniques he used for his boxoffice success 300.

Casting confirmé donc :

Jackie Earle Haley is Rorschach:


Patrick Wilson est Nite Owl




matthew goode est Ozymandias








Billy Crudup est Dr. Manhattan:




Malin Akerman est sally Jupiter







Jeffrey Dean Morgan est le comédien

En attendant y a Heroes qui ressemble à une réponse à Watchmen

Casting Breakdown for Watchmen Look-Alikes

Snyder cherche des sosies pour non seulement des moments de la bd bien connu , mais ce qui serait parait il le générique (sur une chanson de Bob Dylan , the time are changin' )

Citation :

President Richard Nixon: 35-45. We'll be aging him up for a variety of scenes that occur from 1960-1985. The President of the United States, profane, paranoid and panicky. Looking for someone who really resembles and can closely impersonate him

McLaughlin: Circa 1985 and at age 60. The host of The McLaughlin Group, a cable roundtable newschat show, McLaughlin introduces a debate on the likelihood of nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union

Eleanor Clift: Circa 1985 and at age 45. (She's older than 45 in the photo, but you can get the idea). One of the pundits on The McLaughlin Group, she comments on the protective power of Dr. Manhattan

Pat Buchanan: Circa 1985 and at age 47. One of the pundits on The McLaughlin Group, this conservative commentator is convinced the Soviets would never attack the United States

John Lennon: Circa Early 70's and at age 37. Non-speaking role. Key sequence in movie

Yoko Ono: Circa Early 70's and at age 44. Non-speaking role. Key sequence in movie

Dick Cavett: 39. Non-speaking role. Key sequence in movie. Interviewing John Lennon and Yoko Ono in early 70's.

Quint watches WB's WATCHMEN panel at Comic-Con!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here from Comic-Con.


Sets are being built in Vancouver right now, including a New York City backlot. Not going to be 300 style, very little digital work except on Mars and in Antarctica.

-Think more SE7EN than SIN CITY in terms of production design.

-Warner Bros is behind an R-rated film.

-It is period. 1985. There was talk of updating it, but Snyder said it never felt right making it about the War On Terror instead of the Cold War, so he insisted it be set in 1985. Warners agreed.

-While it's not a hard rule, he is going to be using the original comic as storyboards. He'll use them to set the framing for most of the movie.

-The casting was not an exercise in marketing, big names avoided.

-Alan Moore is not involved. He asked for his name to be taken off the project way back when it was first being developed and Snyder is honoring that... but he does hope that this will be the first film made from one of his properties that Moore will eventually think "wasn't fucked up too badly."

-David Gibbons has gotten behind the movie and has frequently given his thoughts on the script and art.

In fact, he did up a Comic-Con exclusive WATCHMEN poster... sorry it's blurry. Will try to get a higher res shot before I sleep.


I'll update with more from the panel as I can get back to the internet... So check back and look for "Updated!" in the headline!

-Quint

date de sortie : 29th March 2009


Bon ca fait un bail.. mais au moins ils vont vraiment bien soigné tout ça

Snyder réviserait son scénario pour coller encore plus au comics et apriori on peut comprendre que il envisagerait aussi Watchmen comme une métaphore sur la culture populaire ( Rorshach serait pour lui travis Binkle de Taxi Driver)

En espérant qu'il n'oubliera pas de faire les changements nécessaire pour que le film marche à l'écran, le second point est en tous cas interessant.

1) Snyder and Tse are drawing from and creatively expanding upon the Watchmen universe. Moviehole has revealed that roles are being cast for John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Pat Buchanan, and Dick Cavett -- among others. None of these non-fictional characters make appearances in the original; none of these characters appear in the Hayter or Tse scripts that we've seen. Rather, these creative choices appear to reflect Snyder's vision of Watchmen has a powerful meta-commentary on popular culture (and on the history of popular cinema -- i.e. Rorschach as Travis Bickle, as Snyder added recently). Question: Will these inventions represent something frivolous and distracting, or will they help in translating the Watchmen into a coherent cinematic experience?

2) Snyder has brought back scenes from the original comics that had been cut from earlier scripts. Cue boners. I, for one (and I know I'm not alone on this), was disappointed that some pretty key scenes were omitted in the earlier Hayter and Tse scripts. Interview footage posted on the MTV Movies Blog/"Overdrive" sites include Snyder commenting on scenes for the movie that were not in earlier drafts -- but have clearly been re-inserted by Snyder and Tse, and will be filmed. Click on the link to MTV's site below, and watch the footage: Snyder states that he is currently working on the scene where Rorschach kills the child molestor. This scene was not included in any script I've read! He refers to this scene as a "fetish" scene: that is, scenes that, while not entirely essential to furthering the plot, are precious to Watchmen geeks and "make Watchmen what it is". Question: How many more of these "fetish" scenes have been re-inserted into the script?

For me, these clues signal that Snyder is going in the right direction. There are a lot more clues out there, especially since Comic Con (anyone else catch his instructions to Tse and production designers, in regarding the Watchmen comics as 2,000 year-old illuminated manuscripts?).

Anyone else want to do some sleuthing?

Snyder a ses dire tente vraiment de comprendre la bd allant meme lire des bouquins auquel fait référence Moore dans Watchmen

lui et Debohra ont l'air trés conscient que le film est un challenge et qu'il ne sagit pas là de 300 : on sent qu'ils s'inquietent un peu et sont en meme temps déterminés à faire le meilleur film possible

Malgrés mes réserves ,trés excitant !!

ah ba cest bon tout ca!

Bon ba s'il veut un sosi de moi je suis dispo
