watchmen teaser trailer and the reveal of dr manhattan
The WATCHMEN Movie Teaser Trailer has hit [via] be it "official" or leaked, here is a peek at spine-tingling goodness to come (that's why I haven't raved on that The Dark Knight is the "best" becoz I'm keeping my options open still and Watchmen-expectations are top on my list as well LOL) - CLICK THRU for pixelated screengrabs (until the "official" HD-version goes online, of coz) including the reveal of Billy Crudup as Dr Manhattan - in both his transformation/creation and eventual form! UPDATED: Official QT + HD versions online @ Apple.com NOW! *sweet*
"A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, the film is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who is watching the Watchmen?"
Funny that they used The Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning. Batman & Robin soundtrack ends up in Watchmen?
ReplyDeleteYeah... a slower, creepier version perhaps, but the song totally rocked the trailer.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought upon watching the trailer was Billy Crudup looked like the pharmacist from Desperate Housewives
forget Batman dude. it's the past... or at least everyone else is trying to forget muahahahaha
ReplyDeletei wanted to say something clever about the title "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning" being from one of the comicbooks, but i got nothing ... :p
nick: *ouch* - LOL ... i was expecting him to ask Ethan Hunt to pick up a disposable camera at the local 7-11 LOL
'The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning'
ReplyDeletei remember vaguely -men used a similar tag line a while back with Professor X's armchair on the cover..
