watchmen video-journal#2: costume design
CLICK THRU for some NEW select screengrabs and minor personal-commentary :)
[Video Journal #2 on JoBlo.com / Journal #1]
WATCHMEN-director Zack Snyder says: "To put it simply, there is an enormous amount of characters that populate the many time periods and environments of the Watchmen world. Although we encountered many challenges while making Watchmen, one of the most interesting and rewarding was creating the wardrobe for all of those people. This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson. Once again, I'm amazed by his talent and dedication. Take a look." [via]
(FYI - if you folks are waiting for the Superhero costumes, they appear around the final 1/3 of the video :p)
gathering before the Keene Act is enforced?
teh Po-Po all geared-up for the demonstrators?
Would this be the funeral of Edward Blake? (where's Doc Manhatten? :p)
mixed-races Knot-Tops? pretty cool this, IMHO :)
MINUTEMEN & VILLAINS
...I coulda sworn "Villain #4" looked like Stan Lee, innit? heh :p
ADRIAN VIEDT / OZYMANDIAS
for a superhero, the dapper and sharply-dressed Adrian is a tad skinny, innit?
actually pretty darn scrawny, IMHO.
LAURIE JUPITER / SILK SPECTRE
pretty risque (not that I'm complaining) even with the flesh-toned body-suit compared to the fishnet-stocking'd costume of Laurie's mum - aka the earlier incarnation of Silk Spectre, yeh?
EDWARD BLAKE / THE COMEDIAN
the full-leather costume is a 180-degree change from his much earlier "Court Jester"-themed
spandex-set circa Minute Men ... I wonder what sorta "props" or handheld weapons he had "then"?
RORSCHACH
in the end, beyond the mask, would people ever remember Rorschach
to be "Walter Joseph Kovacs"? ... or even care?
