Feb 18 2009 Rorschach and Nite Owl are Good Friends FOREVER
Have some Watchmen clips, everyone! See Nite Owl (not Rorschach like in the comic--ut oh!) visit Veidt and his hair wave. Revel in Rorschach being good friends with Nite Owl despite occasional arguments and accusations of insanity. Try not to worry that everything seems slightly stiff and unnatural--it should at least be better than the Joel Schumacher Batmen.

Jan 29 2009 Nite Owl Should Just Get Himself One of Those Puffy Coats
Over at Total Film, they've debuted six new Watchmen images surprisingly worth looking at (i.e., not just different brooding poses of the main cast). Flipping through them, I'm realizing I might have to refresh myself with the book one more time before the film's March release, because I don't at all recall Swimsuit Hitler or this Snowboard Liberace guy.
Dec 31 2008 'Watchmen' Featurette: Hey, It's Moloch!
Seeing that it might be a bit longer than originally anticipated before you get to see that Watchmen movie everyone is talking about, curb your desire with this new footage-filled featurette. With Star Trek and this (hopefully) coming out in the coming months, 2009 is shaping up to be a big year for prosthetic pointed ears in films that can't possibly live up to their hype.

Dec 10 2008 That Old 'Watchmen' Trailer from the Comic Convention
The Watchmen footage shown at the San Diego Comic Convention has finally been made a feature of the internet. iTunes is now hosting the trailer, which you can access by clicking here (via AICN) or searching "watchmen" in the iTunes program. If you go with the latter option, be careful to click the movie Watchmen and don't accidentally click The Prize Fighter Inferno's "Who Watched the Watchmen" song from their album My Brother's Blood Machine. That is a song you do not want to hear.
Nov 14 2008 New 'Watchmen' Trailer!
This Watchmen trailer is going to knock you on your nerdy ass. It will knock your books out of your arms, shove you in a locker, and make you do its homework, but you'll still pathetically ask it to come to your birthday party:
Nov 11 2008 Another 'Watchmen' Poster Deluge
Six new posters for Watchmen have been spread to various media outlets, each poster depicting a character from the film standing or squatting near a quote. Above, from the LA Times, is the Comedian lighting his cigar with a flamethrower--the third coolest way to light a cigar after dragon's flame and hellfire. Below the cut: the remaining five!
Nov 6 2008 'Watchmen' Video Diary: Grrrl Power Edition
Girls Kick Ass, the latest production diary from the set of Watchmen, has gone online at MySpace. As you might expect, it focuses on the stars that have ladyparts (Carla Gugino, Malin Akerman), the training they went through, and the relationship between their characters. Girls can be trained to throw punches too, dudes! Here's the proof!
If you only sit at your desk and discreetly masturbate to one production diary this year, make it this one:

Oct 22 2008 More of That 'Watchmen' Movie
For those of you who missed the Scream Awards last night, first off, what were you thinking??? Secondly, here's the new trailer for Watchmen that debuted.
I forget, did the comic have this much slow motion and so many dramatic landings?
Sep 18 2008 Warner Tossin' Around Idea of a 'Watchmen' Sequel
Patrick Wilson, Nite Owl of the lawsuit-plagued Watchmen movie, admitted to MTV News that there has already been talk of a sequel. Kill me:
“It’s all been talked about,” laughed Wilson. “Financially, they like to do that. But all of us, [director] Zack [Snyder] included, all go, ‘How on Earth could you do a sequel or prequel?’”While Wilson acknowledged the presence of a clause in his contract that allowed for sequels, he was quick to add that these types of arrangements are standard fare these days, citing their presence (and even more unlikely use) in Snyder’s previous blockbuster adaptation, “300.”
“Certainly, artistically, I can’t fathom how it would happen,” said Wilson. “But hey, if Alan Moore writes it, I’d love to read it.”
Look, Warner Brothers, I know the sequel part of the contract is standard, there for a "just in case" scenario like all those spare jars of Dr. Manhattan's blue body paint you'd love to use up in another movie or two, but don't. Don't do this. Never do this. And let's never bring it up again.
