New Watchmen Posters
Warner Brothers has just posted some new movie posters for Watchmen. They were even nice enough to post high res versions. I'll say they were really promoting this movie hardcore at Comic Con last week. Everyone at the DC Booth (the employees) were wearing Watchmen T-shirts (which everyone wanted), and they even had the Owl Ship which will be featured in an upcoming Popular Mechanics article.
Has anyone read the article recently about how the visual style of Zach Snyder's Watchmen will differ from that of his former colleague Frank Miller's The Spirit? It talks about the difference between the comic book graphical representation of life in Frank Miller's films (Sin City, 300, The Spirit) versus the true-to-life graphical representation of Alan Moore's Watchmen. Because Watchmen has been made with incredible attention to Alan Moore's canon, Snyder avoided using the camera techniques that Frank Miller uses to simulate comic book reality on the big screen. I think this isn't necessarily a good thing or a bad thing. I do think that Snyder and Miller are both trying to represent their material in the best possible way.
What do you think? Do you like the comic book appearance of Frank Miller's films, or do you prefer more realistic environments in movies?
Enjoy the new posters!
Damn... makes me so happy..
I really am a big geek.
looks good. I can't help but think they could be a bit more tight design wise over the entire series but they are nonetheless wicked!
If this movie sucks... I will become Blue Hulk!.. (Sad and angry, if you diden`t get it).
I lovelovelove the stark comicbook look of Frank Miller movies. So much so that it doesn't matter to me in the least that I *don't* love the movies themselves. I just love looking at the so, so much.
For Watchman, though? No. I want a movie-looking movie, for sure. Watchmen is so plot & character driven I don't want to be distracted by too much graphic style. I want to see that place & time realistically captured so that the characters appear that they fully belong in that world.
I'm counting down the days. Literally.
