I also really didn't think that Matthew Goode was the best choice for Veidt/Ozymandias. He seemed too frail of build to me, and this became much more of an issue in the final scenes in the film where he displayed what seemed to be superhuman strength in a film where the only super-powered being is supposed to be Dr. Manhattan. This also came up in the early scene where the Comedian is fighting for his life - he punches through what looks like solid brick, and while it might look cool, it didn't seem to make se

Now what I find unusual (or maybe not) is that Fox isn't going after Gordon in this lawsuit at all - when it seems that HE is the source of all these problems and the confusion. Of course Warner Bros. has much deeper pockets than Gordon, plus they have the film in the can - so maybe it makes sense after all. What's interesting is that they're not targeting Paramount, which also made an attempt at the film and had gotten the green light from Gordon before it went to

As the release date for the much-anticipated Watchmen movie draws near, the marketing machine behind the film is starting to turn its gears, hoping to lure those moviegoers not familiar with Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel into theaters next Spr

"To get us all in the same room where we can talk and then agree on anything? You'll never meet a group of people who will have a harder time agreeing on anything... I think it will happen, we just all have to get in the same room with some consisten

From there Gordon and Levin tried to get the film made by Revolution Studios, then Paramount, which wanted Aronofsky to direct (who dropped out due to schedule conflicts) and then Paul Greengrass ( The Bourne Supremacy ). Greengrass approached the project (still based on Hayter's script) with the right sensibility and a Summer 2006 date was targeted as the release date. Unfortunately in the end budgetary issues killed the project at Paramount, when the studio didn't want to spend $100 million to make the f

Visually, Zack Snyder did a fantastic job with Watchmen . The incredible attention to detail in everything from the background sets to the props and costumes is really something to see. Of course one aspect of the film I could have stood to see a bit less of was Dr. Manhattan's penis. The logic of the story was that eventually he becomes so detached from human norms that he doesn't see the point of wearing any clothing. However I'm pretty sure I don't recall Mr. Happy being so prevalent in the book. Here we've got full body shots all over the place and frankly, it was a bit distracting (I'll never look at Blue Man Group quite the same way aga

"Unfortunately, I've found in my video game experience that the big companies are just as conservative as the studios. I was disappointed with the first Hellboy game. I'm very impressed with the sandbox of Grand Theft Auto. You can get lost in that world. But we're using it just to shoot people and run over old ladies. We could be doing so much more.... In the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games... I'll be trying to make it. But I won't be trying until after The Hobb

I’ve had no real prior experience with Hollywood...so far, my experience is very, very good. I’m being very well-treated, my input is being sought, and I did feel that I’m able to have a positive effect on what’s being done with the movie and everything to do with

There are some films that I really wish I could watch TWICE prior to writing a review: Big, highly-anticipated blockbusters tend to taint my initial viewing with expectations. Ideally there would be one viewing where I'd just let the film wash over me and then a second viewing where I could be more objective and analyti

There's been much talk about a sequel to the 2008 surprise superhero hit, Hancock , with conversation picking up particularly when it comes to the cast of Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman possibly returning to do another. Director Peter Berg said a few months ago that everyone was excited to return , but not long after that Bateman came out and said he hadn't heard anything about him returning (we're still not sure if that cluelessness was applicable to Smith and Theron, t

"There are so many cooks in that particular kitchen that are so busy and Will's [Smith] kind of taken time off to be with his kids and his kids are now making all kinds of films and there are so many people involved in that from Will to his partner James Lassiter to Akiva [Goldsmith] to Michael Man and myse

Which brings us, finally, to today and this whole ugly lawsuit where everyone (including our site) has labeled Fox as the bad guy. Now there is no love lost between Fox and myself. They've mucked up a lot of potentially great superhero movie games mods|https://superheromoviespot.com/ movies ( Daredevil, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, X-Men 3, Fantastic Four ), not to mention the grief they gave me about a Day the Earth Stood Still post here at Screen Ra
