Watchmen 2 (The Adventures of Super Bubastis)
 

Old thread reached the post limit.

Here's the new trailer.

They confirmed that The Black Freighter won't be in the theatrical release, but they're planning to have it for a DVD release. I hope that Bernard and Bernard make it into the theatrical cut though.

I actually hope it's not in the Director's Cut or that there's an option to shut it off, I mean, as I really thought it should have been live-action but with some sort of patina coloring to set it apart from the rest of the movie (300 style). Animation I think would be too much in contrast with the rest of the film, I believe, Kill Bill not withstanding. That's actually how Snyder wanted to do it, in live-action (or so he says, I take everything he says with a grain of salt now), but somehow or other it couldn't be done (possibly a time issue, as it's already almost three hours long without any mention of the comic apparently).

I'd also like to say that the chances of Ozymandias having a genetically engineered lynx as a pet is probably not in the movie anymore, since I think the only reason for its existence in the first place was a hint at the monster plot, which we all know is no longer in there. Oh, and to lure Dr. Manhattan in between those anti-matter wall thingies, but something else can easily be put in there to change that.

Just saying.

Not a big fan of Rorschach's voice. It sounds almost... farcical. I know it's supposed to be kind of raspy/whispery, but that half stage-whisper, half needs-a-lozenge thing they have going on sounds more funny than anything. Same problem I had with The Dark Knight.

Overall, it looks like it might be pretty good. I'm not too pleased with some of the stuff I've been hearing lately, but it'll probably still be alright.

I don't like Ozy's costume. I know the colourful stuff is harder to work in a movie (Speed Racer and Casshern disagree), but we're talking about someone who styled himself after the great ancient emperors. The royal colours in his design make sense. getting rid of that aspect of his costume is annoying enough, but they replace it with emo colours? Come on; this is not remotely how Ozymandias pictures himself. Not at all. I can do with costume changes in most cases, but this one not only doesn't suit the concept; it's actually out of character for Ozymandias himself.

Ozymandias should look like Achilles and be dressed like royalty crossed with silver age superheroes. That's how he pictures himself (well, not the silver age bit, but you get the point).

Rorschach's bothers me less and less each time I hear it, Doc Manhattan's bothers me much more, but I'm willing to overlook that since they managed to make him look exactly the way I would expect him to look in a live action thingymabob. Ozymandias looks a little older than I first thought, so I can roll with it. I am very glad they kept the R rating. It gives me hope.

They've shown Bubastis in a few of the posters so far, I'm guessing she'll end up in it despite her increased irrelevance.

I agree with BitVyper on Rorschach's voice, it's something of a letdown for me. When you see Jackie Earle Haley in other works like Little Children you can see how if he used his normal voice it would have been great. That almost unexpected kind of voice would have made Rorschach really unique.

Also Patrick Wilson seems fucking perfect as Dan so far.

The metal part of the costume definitely should've been shining gold, yeah. If you want to make the rest of it dark blackish purple that's fine. I mean, Some of the other characters have bright colors for their costumes, I don't see why Ozymandias' had to be altered as much as it was.

It's sort of almost goldish.

But I agree it's one of the more disappointing costumes. They at least made it a tad effeminate to make up for the lack of gaudiness.

Also the 2nd song from the new trailer is "Take A Bow" by Muse in case anyone was wondering or cared. I'm not sure what the first one was though. (Philip Glass?)

I was wondering. If that makes you feel better. The outfit should definitely have been a bit more cheery.

You know, it's kinda funny, those same frames of the attacker pointing a gun "at" the audience are in this trailer, but there's no walkie-talkie CGed on top of it this time! (1:07 in the new trailer)

God, Ozymandias and his costume reminds me of Robin from Batman & Robin
