Watchmen

I think it does make sense for the squid ending to be replaced for a motion picture.

We have to remember that Watchmen is a very serious film and, while it may work for the comic, it may not necessarily translate too well to film.

I remember how Hollywood handled Galactus in FF2. They hinted that there was a giant being living within the planet-eating cloud and that was as far as they needed to go. Had they actually gone that extra mile and shown Galactus, I think the entire cinema would erupt into laughs at the sight of a giant man in huge purple leather. Same scenario with the giant squid.

I heard this aswell. Its more bringing it up to date with the rest of the world. I imagine it will be a giant robot or a bomb or something as easily replacable within the plot boundaries. Not something to get fanboy up in arms about.

Wow, Just Wow.

First trailer I've seen, and it looks amazing, truly amazing.

I think the squid thing should probably be changed, but it shouldn't be a bomb or anything, as it still needs to be supernatural and psycick.

It has now been settled. Warner Bros will be paying Fox a large undisclosed amount for the rights and a percentage of the Box Office takings. Which means the march release is going ahead.

Alan Moore's magic must not have worked then Laughing

Getting more and more disinterested the more I see of it though.
