Watchmen

Directed by Zack Snyder. Starring Jackie Earle Haley, Billy Crudup, Malin Akerman, Matthew Goode, Patrick Wilson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

The legendary comic book series / graphic novel is finally making its way to the big screen. Director Zack Snyder has promised to leave the 80s aesthetic of the original text intact, reminding viewers what it was once like to live under the specter of nuclear doom. He also promises a “comic book movie” for adults — a welcome departure from a summer movie scene so overrun with superheroes that it’s starting to look like a big budget American version of Mexican wrestling. - Demon
