Zack Sets Us Straight
Watchmen director tells fans when they will get their first look at Dr. Manhattan and to relax about Ozys nipples
So, Zack Snyder won Best Director for
300 at this years Saturn Awards and while he was backstage carrying his award off, he gave another video interview.
I'm guessing the video was shot at the end of the night because Snyder seemed pretty tired and perhaps a bit partied out from the event.
Regardless, he dropped a few more
Watchmen tidbits that are very much worth reporting.
First, It seems we will be getting our first look at Dr. Manhattan a lot sooner than we had thought According to Snyder,
I think you will see Manhattan before Comic-Con. That's my feeling. But there's other stuff that you will see that's crazy at Comic-Con.
The interview also asked Snyder about some of the negative fan reaction to the costume photos that were released a few months ago.
Someone said, like Those costumes look like Joel Schumacher! And I go Do you think that I dont know? Do you think that would be an accident? If you dont acknowledge where comic book movies are right now, if you cant
in the same way that Watchmen referenced and took apart the comic book genre and the comic book heroes, you have to make some reference to those same decisions in cinema. You have to. And if you think the fact that Ozys costume has nipples is a mistake or that we dont understand the design, then it's like to me thats crazy. It's just you really need to pay more attention to what were doing.
