May 22 2007Possible Watchmen Casting
A source for AICN reports that casting for Zack Snyder's adaptation of Watchmen may have started, with three actors being offered parts. Patrick Wilson, seen recently in Little Children, is supposedly up for the role of Night Owl, pretty boy Jude Law will take the part of pretty boy Ozymandias, and, most surprisingly, Keanu Reeves may fill in the shoes of Dr. Manhattan.
Someone should inform Zack Snyder that however much he thinks The Matrix is cool, its coolness is not a reflection of the acting talent of Keanu Reeves. There's a reason the standard impression of him is looking dazed and saying "whoa." And if Reeves is doing Watchmen, what becomes of The Lake House 2!?

Isn't Dr. Manhattan nuuuuude throughout the book? Does this mean we'll get a Johnny Utah version of Mystique??? Grrrrrrrr....

Doc Manhatten isn't exactly the king of emoting, so Reeves could manage.

Andrew's right.
Keanu Reeves as Dr Manhattan makes perfect sense in unbelievable ways.
