the watchmen in new trailer?

[jnmx2000]

anyone else see the guy that looked alot like one of the main characters from the watchmen, can't remember his name, think that shot actually has anything to do with the 300? i think zack put that in there as a nod to the watchmen, and if that's what it's going to look like, bring it on!

You can only see it if you pause the video and move the bar to 1:52. You won't see it if you just watch it.

Forgot to mention, his name is Rorschach.

 

[Speedball]

I went to 1:52 and nothing like that showed up.

 

[jnmx2000]

yea! thats the name, that's the image i saw. it's for a split second right after the guy slashing his sword which is right after the two women kissing, so 2 cuts ahead of that. i think thats just zack giving us a peek into what the watchmen is going to look like.

I think someones pulling your leg, guys. This is an old trailer, and the Watchman guy looks "Fan Film" to me.

If you watch the youtube videos that AICN and Superherohype posted, it's at 3:38 mark. Because the timer doesn't start at 0:00, it's starts at like 5:30 mark. So, just check at the 3:38 mark area and you will see it. Hope that helps

Yea but this is not from the actual movie this is just test footage than snyder shot, and possibly costume test also. I am sure that the final rosharsh will have a mask with a better material and the trenchcoat will be much better also .This was just to give us fans a taste and i thin kit was a great idea.

Very cool. I think it's time that SHH create a Watchmen thread.

 

[ash_klownkiller]

i actually never read the watchmen but i have heard alot about it and seen alot of art work

and i think that it is awesome that he put that in there

 

[Kasady]

dude im sorry but your kinda dumb. Thats not a old trailer, its brand new. Zack Snyder posted it himself and confirmed the image already.

 

[Ragnarocker]

Yes!! Watchmen will finally be a movie! Easily one of the top comics I have ever read, Rorschach is one of the best characters I've ever known. With the cgi they have today his mask will be no problem, it'll look so cool on screen.

Also did everyone else notice this is from the beginning of the comic? You can see he's throwing the smiley face badge down..

 

[buddha182]

they need to open up a setion for Watchmen on these forums...

but, there is a full size (like 3000 pixels) version of that image if you want to use it as a wallpaper or desktop here - http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/03/09/first-test-image-of-rorshach-from-watchmen/

just forwarding along so you don't have to look at that crappy youtube version (just one of many reasons why I hate youtube)

 

[superkong 500]

So I haven't read the GN yet can someone tell me a little bit about the characters specially rorshach? what does he does what's his character about? does he fight? etc.

His mask looks like a paperbag............

 

[ILikeYourCoat]

For those who read the comic book, can you explain what Rohrscach was doing at the end? He was going back to that owl ship on his Segway, but once he got there, there was no way he could have flew it back to America. Unless he memorized how to work the controls just by watching the Night Owl do it. So he essentially would have been stuck in Antartica. Why did Dr. Manhattan even bother doing what he did to him then?

Don't forget it's shot from pre-production stills. So they are still working on it

Hey can someone elaborate on who this "watchman" is. I have never heard of him , I would like for someone to school me a little on who he is.

That's pretty cool. Nice easter egg.

Go find the graphic novel (by Alan Moore) and read it. Now. It's the awesomeness of everything that is awesome.

My friend sent me the Rorscharch image and it gave us both chills. I have yet to see 300 (a bit leery of blood, but I've been able to handle the uncut clips I've seen so far), but if it's as good as I hope it is, I can't wait for Watchmen!

Here's an interesting bit of an interview with snyder, looks like his favorite is rorschach. He seems very excited with the project and the character:

Rorschach is awesome,” said Snyder. “He's the man. He's too violent and so therefore people will see him and be like, 'Gosh, that's not the answer. That way is wrong.' But he's so cool that it's like ‘Apocalypse Now.’ You look at that movie now and you think, ‘Wow, this is a poem about anti-war and all of that.’ But then you watch the movie and you're like, ‘Wow, that's awesome.’ It's that fine line.

“I'm just saying, 'What does that mean? What's the implication of that? How is that different from the way the other filmmakers were approaching "Watchmen?"' Snyder asked rhetorically as he showed off the image of his assistant dressed as Rorschach, which he shot as an early test for the flick. “I can tell you right now, and I don't know [what other directors planned to do with ‘Watchmen’], but I don't think his intentions were to take the frames from the book and kind of try and figure out the cinematic version of them. I find that kind of interesting and exciting.”

Snyder reportedly wants to begin filming this spring on the highly anticipated comic project, and rumors persist that he’ll once again team with his “300” star Gerard Butler, possibly in the role of the doomed Comedian.
