http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/29/WATCHMEN-Set-Pictures-Hit-The-Web.aspx Check out these cool pics from the set of the upcoming WATCHMEN movie, which is currently in production in Vancouver. From what I see, set designers have done a pretty good job of bringing 1980’s New York City to life. For those outside the circle of the comic book-geek-elite, WATCHMEN was a groundbreaking miniseries from famed comic book auteur Alan Moore (who recently made a rare public appearance on THE SIMPSONS). The story follows a retired group of super heroes trying to acclimate to their “normal” lives. Mystery ensues, and old secrets resurface when an unknown assassin begins murdering the retired heroes, leaving the last vigilante in America, the enigmatic Rorschach, to track down the Killer. You can actually see Rorschach if you look closely at the photo with the Nixon poster. WATCHMEN is being helmed by director Zack Snyder (300), it will star Carla Gugino (SIN CITY), Patrick Wilson (LITTLE CHILDREN), Malin Akerman (HEARTBREAK KID), Billy Crudup (BIG FISH), Jeffery Dean Morgan (GREY’S ANATOMY), Matthew Goode (MATCH POINT), and Academy Award Nominee Jackie Earle Haley (LITTLE CHILDREN) as Rorschach. For now take a gander at the pics and these cool stats about the set design, then rant back and let us know if you’re as giddy about WATCHMEN as we are! en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/29/WATCHMEN-Set-Pictures-Hit-The-Web.aspx 77 60
