(and that's not a shot at you lebowski, you did nice work, but I think a little change to Ozy's look for screen is necessary.)

Just find the hair style you want, and rubber-stamp it onto his head. He's pretty much bald, so you have space to create. :)

HOLY S$@%#T MOTHER OF GOD YEEEEE (five minutes latter)EEEEAH
It's alive...

Short story long
In 2005, long time ago...Wachmen movie was supposed
to be made by Paul Greengrass. It was a sure thing, site was up,
preproduction on the way, actors almost cast, release date "2006".
Me, going nuts like a squirrel on amphetamines...
What to do, what to do...yeah! make a fan made teaser trailer...
3 different programs and a 3 days later it was done but W. movie was dead, canceled, put on a shelf before they shoot a single frame of it...we all know the story.
...and until few hours ago I thought that my fan teaser was lost, deleted in one of many hard drives that I broke or broke them selfs in a past 2,3 years.
But no!!!
In a folder named something like "123qwe" there was a folder and in that folder another folder...until "old stuff" folder and in it...
Blast from the past...

[Comic Book Boy]

Awesomez...
Thanks, and I could see out of it too :)

[Killing Joke926]

ok im probably gonna get chewed out for asking but...what is watchmen about?

You haven't read it yet?!?!?!?!:wow: I'm 110% serious when I say go out and buy a copy NOW!

Anywho, here's the basic outline of the story.

Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternative history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_history_%28fiction%29) United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_warfare) with the Soviet Union (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union) (the Doomsday Clock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock) is at five minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero) and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosis) and failings, and who - with one notable exception - lack anything recognizable as super powers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comic_book_superpowers). Watchmen's deconstruction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero#Deconstruction) of the conventional superhero archetype, combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematic_techniques) and heavy use of symbolism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism), multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metafiction), has influenced both comics and film.

[CaptainGenerica]

Something I found out about the Doomsday Clock... in Watchmen, which is supposedly a more dangerous, tense alternate reality, it's set at five minutes to midnight, yes? In real-life 1985 it was actually at three minutes to midnight.

[sad lieutenant]

Something I found out about the Doomsday Clock... in Watchmen, which is supposedly a more dangerous, tense alternate reality, it's set at five minutes to midnight, yes? In real-life 1985 it was actually at three minutes to midnight.

I don't know what "a more dangerous, tense reality means."

The Cold War didn't hinge in quite the same way on "mutually assured destruction" in the Watchmen's world compared to the real world. This is due to the presence of Dr. Manhattan. For me, I got the sense, as expressed by the Comedian, that the maybugs were, indeed, going to fly (or however he says it) -- but that it would probably happen sooner if Doc Osterman weren't around. The Watchmen's Cold War was sort of different, simply for the fact the Osterman could prevent the U.S. from being utterly annihilated. In this sense, it's a less "dangerous" arrangement (if the Russians attacked, they would be fawked in the most serious way), but also a bit more "tense" in the sense that Nixon and his administration we able to be more assertive/bullish/douchebaggish.

So, for me, it kinda makes sense the the Watchmen's "doomsday clock" would be a couple of minutes behind the real world's.

Isn't the clock currently set at 5 minutes? Nice little rub, there.

I respectfully disagree (but perhaps not in a particularly well-thought-out manner--just saying what I feel). Look at Killing Joke's summary: "the country is edging closer to a nuclear war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_warfare) with the Soviet Union (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union) (the Doomsday Clock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock) is at five minutes to midnight)". People wouldn't emphasize that, I think, unless it was meant to imply that the threat of nuclear war loomed even more ominously over the world than it did in real life. That's the impression I always got, in any case: that the world of Watchmen was dangerously close to the tipping point, that the US and USSR were even more paranoid and arms-race-happy, etc. It's true that Doc was a powerful deterrent, but the very day after he went to Mars, Russia invaded Afghanistan. I'd call that a more "dangerous" world, although you may not.

Summaries of alternate reality stories don't usually begin with "In a world even safer than our own...", y'knowhatimean? :yay:

Eh, I think it's pretty clear that his suit will be black. Especially since we saw the designs on the wall behind Snyder and it was black.

We've seen two images of Ozymandias. One is color saturated to the point of nearly being a black and white photo, and the other is a tiny out of focuse picture on the wall behind Snyder. That's not a whole lot to go off of.

Also take into account that when Snyder himself was asked about costumes, he commented that the characters he changed the most were Nite Owl and Silk Spectre. I'd say if Ozy's costume really looked like that picture makes it seem, then it'd be the biggest change of them all.

This is how Ozy should look. I think that, in terms of shape and design, what they did with Ozy's costume was perfect, and works better than the costume from the comics would. I still take issue with it being black, because it's not consistent with his character. The above picture is just about perfect, I think.

I can't tell - is he wearing the mask or is it hovering in front of his face?

[Rust]

:woot:

Anyways, the color-enhanced Ozy probably looks more like the one we'll see in the movie. Looks better, but the suit still looks very rubbery and the design is a little bit too simple. It also sorta reminds me of Captain Amazing's suit from Mystery Men. :csad:

Hmm, Captain Amazing himself is really a parody of Ozymandias. The irony! Hahah!

Agreed... I wish Snyder had given us some actual stills.

[The Battousai]

Agreed... I wish Snyder had given us some actual stills.

He gave us one already :cwink:

[sad lieutenant]

Yes, I know... but for the other characters as well... I hate all "promotional" art, regardless of the production in question. For example, I imagine that The Dark Knight will far surpass Nolan's first Batman pic and am really looking forward to seeing it. However, I don't have any desire to see a picture of Christian Bale suited up and pumping his fist in the air for a photo that is destined to adorn a Slurpee cup. Sure, that's the guy who's playing Batman all gussied-up in his Batman suit, but it gives me no insight into the film at all.
And the same goes for these Watchmen photos. If I were to make a guess about the direction of Snyder's production based on those photos alone, I wouldn't be too interested.

[FatalEnergy]

^ I agree. Those those promotional shots are way too stylized. I think the Rorschach still that he gave us is soo much better, not only because its awesome, but because it shows what the actual film is going to look like, which looks better than these pics.

that is very cool

[Sandman138]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Stigart/cruduphattan.jpg

This is the only Manhattan manip that I have liked.

[CaptainGenerica]

I'm not feeling any of the head-cape manips for Nite-Owl that have popped up so far. I think it should look more like a hood and less like...princess-tassels. In any case I'm not too attached to it.

Nose-mask... I actually prefer it.

Round goggles, judging by the manips, would have been nice. I can't think of why they wouldn't keep them, unless perhaps the square ones give Patrick Wilson a better field of vision. I think lujho's manip is perfect. The round goggles plus smaller ears look great.

[CaptainGenerica]

Bonus points to that Manhattan manip for actually using Crudup's face.

[CaptainGenerica]

Y'know, all these Silver Surfer-based manips are starting to sell me on the idea of a metallic-looking Doc Manhattan. Maybe even a surface that shifts between metallic, translucent, glowing, etc., hinting at the sheer energy contained within his body. It would be one way of getting at the otherworldliness that doesn't quite come across in Gibbons' art, but was described by Hollis Mason.

[Sasso]

The last thing we need is a metallic Manhattan. He is not metallic in the comics and he is not some Silver Surfer knock-off.

[Sandman138]

Thank you. The Silver Surfer looked like ass anyways. I have no idea why people want Manhattan to look like that.

[The Battousai]

Jump to conclusions some more, why don't you :whatever:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/additional/large/office_space_kit_mat.jpg

[Sandman138]

:huh:

[The Battousai]

:huh:

You assumed that by using the Silver Surfer as a base for Manhattan that the metallic look is what people want to see. I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly don't think he should look metallic.

[Sandman138]

Read six posts back, then bend over, and kindly kick yourself in the ass.

Also even if SS is a convenient base, it still looks like ass. How about manipping Billy Crudup's face instead?

[The Battousai]

Read six posts back, then bend over, and kindly kick yourself in the ass.

Why? Because one poster has said they like it? :whatever:

If you read my post, you would see that I didn't make the assumption that nobody likes the look.

How about manipping Billy Crudup's face instead?

Maybe.

[Overman27pj]

Internet fight!!!!!

[CaptainGenerica]

Heh.

All I said was it looked kinda cool and that it might fit the character. Didn't say I wanted to see it, per se. (And nobody better bring up the "Watchmen isn't supposed to look cool" argument) Truth be told though, I'm almost certain that the film team will do something interesting and out-there with the look of Manhattan's skin. Probably not metallic, probably something pretty subtle, but he's not just going to be a smurf-man. Hollis Mason's description of him as something your brain refuses to believe exists may have been more psychological than visual, but I'd like to see that aspect of him (which, in my opinion, Gibbons' art doesn't try very hard to do) made apparent in the film.

As a side note, I think it would be hard to argue that Moore and Gibbons weren't inspired at least a little bit by SS when they designed Doc Manhattan. Bald monochrome naked man in outer space with god-like powers, detached from interpersonal connections after a life-changing transformation, fatalistic and unemotional? Go figure. It's the psychological depth of his character that makes him unique and not a "Silver Surfer knockoff", but the look and the powers are nothing particularly groundbreaking. For that reason, the Silver Surfer is a pretty reasonable place to start when trying to figure out how a cinematic Manhattan might look, I think.

[arman200]

The last thing we need is a metallic Manhattan. He is not metallic in the comics and he is not some Silver Surfer knock-off.

no, he's based on captain atom......who is shiny and metallic.

[Sandman138]

It doesn't matter, Dr. Manhattan is clearly not. You get the reference without the metallic skin which looks terrible and screams cheap ass CGI. It will be unreal enough if they can make his skin glow blue light convincingly. Case in point:

i don't know. i gotta say that the surfer manip looks a lot cooler. i'm not saying i want him metallic, but it still looks pretty awesome

[Sasso]

Probably because it shows his whole torso and he's on Mars, which is far more exciting than him in a suit on a white background.

it's not paint. his mask is made of a material that changes its pattern according to heat (i believe it was heat). so it changes with his emotions.
