Inside Scoop on ‘Watchmen’ Film: Spoilers Ahoy!
Comic Related has one of the most in depth reports on the upcoming Watchmen movie yet, including some massive spoilers in its latest report.
There’s plenty that I won’t post, but here’s a taste:
To start off, I’ve learned that the supplemental material at the end of the individual issues of the comic series will be included in the film in the form of newsreel-style reports. Whether these will be part of the opening credits – as has been reported elsewhere – or interspersed throughout the film, we will have to wait and see. Perhaps the Mothman scene I reported on months ago will be part of this footage.
The story comes via io9, which also offers a bevy of behind-the-scenes photos from the set. Fair warning: That link repeats lots of the spoilers. So if you’re trying to avoid such things, steer clear.
[UPDATE: ComicRelated.com’s Chuck Moore recently let ComicMix know that, due to popular demand, he’s compiled all of the site’s great behind-the-scenes Watchmen coverage on a single page, providing a great one-stop shopping spot for anyone in search of information about the film. Thanks, Chuck! -RM]
As we are pretty proud of those photos, it's worth noting that the io9 images also came from Comic Related (found on the web at http://www.comicrelated.com/ ).You can find the full and complete landslide of photos via these two links…Gallery one – http://www.comicrelated.com/commentary/watchmen_0…Gallery two – http://www.comicrelated.com/commentary/watchmen_0…
Sorry about not noting that in the article, Chuck, but thanks for letting us know! That's some great stuff. You really have a goldmine of Watchmen material there!
Any "spoilers" i could imagine – save for secret surrise cameos, maybe – could only come under the heading of "Forewarned is forearmed" regarding Bad Changes.I'll get back to you on that after i read the post.
Nope, nothing really spoiler-ific from my standpoint.
I think it depends on your perspective coming in. If you're really familiar with the book, then of course you know the story. But for the uninitiated, there are some definite surprises. I guess there's also some question as to how closely film will follow book.Also – Chuck, thanks for the clarification.
Pretty much what i said in my first comment.
Thanks for the pointer to the site! I'm a regular reader enjoying ComicMix. For Watchmen fans, I just posted a 1-page containing ALL of our behind-the-scenes reports making it easy for fans to check every single post on a single page. (Be warned though, I don't think you'll find a page with more potential spoilers than than this one.)http://www.comicrelated.com/commentary/watchmen.h…Cheers!
I've updated the original article here with a note about your new, single-page Watchmen commentary, Chuck. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, and of course, thanks for reading ComicMix, too!
