Director's Cut in theaters for July

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^For me he got the majority of the most important parts of the book in the movie, the watch components and knowing to they fit together being a major one in Manhatten's origin. In both the book and the movie, it was presented that it very easily could have been fate that those Osterman to become Dr. Manhatten, because he knew how to.

Does anyone know why Watchmen is being re-released today? My theater is getting it again and on the website it just says: "Watchmen (NEW)" and I don't have the money to just go and check it out right now.

It's really great now that we know that the director's cut will feature more of Rorschach. His origin scene, how he got the mask and more interaction with him and the psychiatrist. With this statement by Snyder I really hope these are all confirmed scenes for the director's cut.

Now I am really concerned about Dr Manhattan. Snyder tells that he was his favorite during the shooting and yet his scenes were simplified more than anyone's. Jon's flashback is a magnificent scene, and I doubt that it will be extended or changed, because of the editing with the music, but the thing with the picture must be extended (with I am holding this picture...) in the film we didn't truly realize the perception of time by Dr Manhattan. We, as viewers, don't get the feeling the same we get with the book, and I think with more editing that can be achieved. I really hope for that and the throwing of the gears, but Jon said about his father on the conference. I also hope that there will be more additional scenes with Jon and Laurie on Mars, and that his monologue to Laurie about the thermodynamical miracles will be extended as is in the book (but I doubt that also). I really hope for more scenes and more complicated scenes with Jon this time.

I think that Adrien needs more development and especially Bubastas. Since in the graphic novel there was a genetic experiment, we realize where Bubastas comes from, but in the film it doesn't fit well. Just one sentence will do the thing.

Hollis Mason's death is also one of the things we all know will get in the director's cut.

And definitely some additional scenes in the past, when they meet, and more Comedian interacting with Laurie, Ozymandias or Dr Manhattan.

Maybe Nite Owl's mention that Ozymandias stands for Ramses II in Greek, I thought that was a nice detail that was left out.

As for the Black Freighter and it's editing in the film, I don't have any idea how they plan on doing it. I don't think it would work as it does in the graphic novel, but it would certainly be interesting to see how that plays out in the end.

With the Black Freighter stuff, the news stand stuff with the two Bernies was filmed as well, so those will also be in the Ultimate Cut, so i imagine that the news stand stuff will certainly help the Black Freighter stuff flow more easily in the film.

 

[Timstuff]

Jumping between the animated Black Freighter stuff and the rest of the movie would be a bit jarring, to say the least. I'm sure that they'll do it in the ultimate cut just for the heck of it, but I think the Director's Cut (which will likely be the definitive version) will be better served without it. I'm sure the two Bernies will at least be in there, though.

''Warner Bros. is giving Zack Snyder's director's cut of "Watchmen" a limited theatrical rollout one week before Comic-Con International in San Diego.

The cut, which will have an additional 25 minutes of footage including the death of a supporting character, will screen in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis and Dallas before the movie is released on Blu-ray and DVD on July 21.''

[Shadow-Guardian]

And this extended cut will be on the SE dvd right?

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

dallas??????

 

[JTStarkiller]

And this extended cut will be on the SE dvd right?

Yes. The 2 disc DVD and the Blu-Ray release will include the DC. I'd see it if it were in Austin, but I don't feel like driving the three hours to Dallas when it comes out just a few days later on Blu.

 

[ross2287]

Damn, no love for Pittsburgh...or anywhere in PA, really.

 

[Kane52630]

Dallas!!! yes thank you Zach!

 

[chauhan]

Yes. The 2 disc DVD and the Blu-Ray release will include the DC. I'd see it if it were in Austin, but I don't feel like driving the three hours to Dallas when it comes out just a few days later on Blu.

Does this include the 2-disc being released in the UK?

 

[Johann Krauss]

Wait, Why the **** was my post deleted?

 

[nathaniel]

What did you all think of the DC? it cinfirms for me that Watchmen is probably the most unique superhero movie we will see in our lifetime anyone who doesnt think Masons fate wasnt inspired (though short) filmaking is crazy.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

man i wanna watch the DC so bad...I'm going to the opening in Dallas for sure...

 

[Armored Avenger]

Does this include the 2-disc being released in the UK?

No. In their idiocy Paramount have decided, for some bizarre reason, to not release the Director's cut in the UK.

 

[magicangel1989]

um, i know this is way off topic, but should i watch the Spirit, or is it so bad that i shouldn't see it? Cause i was thinking of seeing it.

I thought the Spirit was absolutely terrible.

 

[nathaniel]

I thought the Spirit was absolutely terrible.

It was poor but i think all films deserve a chance of a look see despite any hype surrouding it. i remember people saying Spidey 3 was absolutely terrible but when i got round to watching it i thought it was very enjoyable.

Same with the Crow i was told by word of mouth it was bad for years (this was before the net) when i finally watched it i thought it was brilliantly done it was the movie that should have shot Branden Lee intot the A list action hero catorgory.

 

[CelticPredator]

Spider-Man 3 sucks so much its sicking. I was doing this once Parker flipped his emo hair...:

 

[The_Joker7895]

I posted this in another thread,

Re: The Official Watchmen Question & Answers Thread.
There's only one part where I thought the theatrical cut was superior to the director's cut. The transition from Rorschach to the first Holis-Danny scene. The scene with the cops, what the hell was that all about ? It was stupid and pointless.

Also, Rorchach =/= The Phantom. t:


The transition in the theatrical cut was far better with the minuitemen picture.
