Jul 23 2007More Watchmen Casting News
With an official announcement rumored for ComicCon in less than a week, the cast for Zack Snyder's Watchmen is an issue ripe with rumor. Now two more names have surfaced for roles in the film, with news that Matthew Goode will play Ozymandias, while Malin Akerman has nabbed the role of Silk Spectre. I'd never heard of either of them until this news, but I will say I like how the limited budget is forcing more unknowns into the roles. Also, I will say that Matthew Goode seems to be more neck than man.

Goode should've been picked to play Mr. Fantastic in the FF sequel. They would have saved a pretty penny skipping CGI for neck elongation effect.

This casting is going to hell. I fully expect them to retract Billy Crudup and cast the entire blue man crew as Doctor Manhattan. And then throw in Lorezo Llamas for good measure.

Got no problem with unknowns in the cast. In fact, it can be better in many cases...
