The art of Ozymandias in full costume is pretty fantastic.

You may want tot go back a page and read my entire analysis.

Sorry, I skimmed through most of everything. Thanks, I I can't believe I missed that.

No problem - I missed a couple things even after analyzing the vid, hehe

Wow, that 2nd video blog really shows the style they're going for and the amount of effort they're going through to capture different time periods. It looks like a big movie. How long is this thing??

I think we're all hoping for 3 hours.

What a treat that would be

Spoiler

You're a little behind on that

 

[bunk]

Behind on what? They're just pictures.

 

[Lamasery Phial]

The attention to detail is very reassuring.

The hayter script went through almost the whole graphic novel in about 90 pages(approx. 90 minutes), but it was missing The origin of Rorschach and Dr Long, and the ending would probably be longer without the changes Hayter made, and assuming they're adding just about everything that was missing in that script(except the black freighter) I could see maybe 2 hours and 20 minutes, give or take. Though that's obviously just a guesstimate.

Ooh, I wonder what the new one will be about... SFX maybe? Or is it too soon?

I think Dr. Manhattan. I know WatchmenComicMovie is supposed to have that video. Or at least, it was mentioned that he would receive it.

BTW, open question to anyone: has there been any official word on the running time, or is the 3 hour figure that's been thrown around just fan speculation?

There's an older interview with Snyder where he says he's pushing for nearly three hours - I think it's on YouTube

I think they are going to wait as long as they can to reveal Manhattan to us. I do think that one of the video's released in July or August will be the teaser (since I'm betting they will attach the teaser to TDK). But SFX could be possible. I also think we might get part of Dave Gibbons set visit.

Snyder himself recently stated that the present cut of the movie is 3-hour long.

Mr. Snyder said he was eager to head a direct-to-DVD project, in part because it would allow him to use more material from the “Watchmen” graphic novel.

“I thought the ‘Black Freighter’ story would never see the light of day,” he said. “The main picture is nearing three hours long and I know I have a fight on my hands just with that.”

That's just too awesome. I hope Warner Bros. doesn't win out and force him to change it.

Who's suppose to have it today?

We don't know. That's part of the surprise. We were lucky that SHH! was the first site chosen and the news got here fast.

 

[Gotham]

I'm thinking CHUD, but I also think Watchmen Comic Book Movie may have it.

*Hurm* It's 24 minutes past midnight; where's the new Journal Entry blog?
