/Film - Watchmen: Running Time, New Trailer and Sequel Denial
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008
# The current running time is 2 hours and 43 minutes, and Zack Snyder doesn’t expect it to get much shorter. Wow, that’s even longer than I expected it would be.
# Snyder said he would not be involved with a prequel/sequel if Warner Bros stupidly decided to make one. But the real question is, would Warner Bros be stupid enough to make one?
# The next movie trailer will be attached to Quantum of Solace, which hits theaters in the US on November 14th 2008. Mark it on your
Watchmen

/Film - Watchmen Ending Changed?
Sunday, October 19th, 2008
Remember that Watchmen test screening I told you about last week? Well it happened, and buzz coming out of the screening has the Watchmen fan community throwing a hissy fit. Before you get nervous, know this - everyone says the film is awesome. However, the fans are upset over how Zack Snyder’s ending varies from that of the one in the graphic novel.
And there really is no way of talking about the ending of a film without spoilers being involved. That said, you have been warned. Story after the jump.
SPOILERS…
Yes, Spoilers…
Skip the rest of the story if you don’t want to know.
A couple of people who attended the screening posted reports on the IMDb message boards, only to have their posts quickly removed. Nothing has been officially confirmed, so PLEASE consider this with a grain of salt for now. According to the reports, the climax of the graphic novel where Veidt releases his squid in New York City, was not in the movie. Instead, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias build a machine that mimics Dr Manhattan’s powers and Ozy uses the machine to set off atomic bomb like explosions in various cities around the world.
The exclusion of the squid is very puzzling, especially considering the numerous reports from a variety of sources that the squid was included in the film. Even cast members have made mention of a beastie in the film’s climax. Who knows, there is always the possibility that Snyder shot multiple endings, although I’m doubtful. The amount of money it would take to film either ending would be substantial. So I doubt Warner Bros would have allowed him to film both.
I’ve talked with a couple of my friends who are fans of the book, and many of them were quick to admit that unleashing the squid was probably not the best way to go. The new ending supposedly works thematically, and isn’t that what is really important? I understand that part of being a fanboy is to expect a big screen adaptation to be an exact replication of what he’s read on paper. I mean, what would fandom be without the constant bickering over the different changes made from book to screen? But is it possible that Snyder could have went for a better ending?
Update: Our friends at Collider have an interview with Kevin Smith, where he talks about having seen Watchmen. Here is his response to the question about if the ending is different:“It’s a little different. While it is a slight departure, it actually makes sense in the context of the story because it brings the characters back into it. It kind of makes the movie more about them by the end of it because of the switch they made. I would never say that Alan Moore fucked it up or something. I love the ending of the Watchmen comic book, but I think this ending works just as well.”

Snyder har sagt att slutet kommer att vara i samma "anda" som seriens men både han och Dave Gibbons har hintat att detaljerna kan bli annorlunda. Jag har mer eller mindre accepterat det, samtidigt som jag när ett litet hopp om att det förblir oändrat. Svårt att få det att funka på film kanske, men *det där* är ett av de mest ikoniska inslagen i serien och det skulle verkligen vara vågat att inkludera det.

/Film - Watchmen Ending Tested Highly With Fans Of The Book
Monday, November 10th, 2008
Leaks from a test screening last month left hard core fans upset that the ending of the Watchmen movie adaptation was different than the one Alan Moore had written in the comic books. Zack Snyder finally responds to the online criticism on Dark Horizons.
Start of Possible Spoilers“The squid was not in the movie when I got the script, the squid was never in any draft that I saw. My point is only that there was this elegant solution to the squid problem that I kind of embraced. I’m a fan of the thing as much as anyone, I was saying what are we going to do about this before I even read the script,” said Snyder. “The fans, god love ‘em, they’re all up in arms about the squid. What they should be up in arms about are things like shooting the pregnant woman, ‘God is real and he’s American’, whether THAT’s in the movie. That’s my point of view, maybe I’m crazy.”
End of Spoilers“The one thing that was cool was that anyone who had read the graphic novel who was at the screening rated the film ‘excellent’, for me I’m like ‘I’m done’.”
Snyder confirmed that he only shot one ending to the film, ending rumors that the ending that was screening in Portland was one of a couple choices. Also, the second trailer that will be attached to Quantum of Solace features “a little bit more story” that will give you “a sense of the characters plight - ‘we were supposed to make the world a better place… what happened to the American Dream’”. He also confirmed a third trailer will be released early next year.

Varför benämns gruppen "Watchmen" vid upprepade tillfällen, som om det vore deras officiella beteckning? I serien kallar dom sig aldrig så och har man läst den så sticker det ut något förfärligt. En sådan literalisering av titeln missar själva poängen med den och osar utav onödig simplifiering för Happy Meal-publiken. Andra delar av dialogen känns också off, som "one of us died tonight" istället för det mer ikoniska "a Comedian died tonight". Eller "Jon thinks that there's gonna be nuclear war"? Senast jag läste så bryr han sig inte nog för att tro något i frågan.
Rorschachs röst låter som Christian Bales överdrivet morrande Batman men i och med referenserna till tidigare filmer i genren är det kanske meningen och förhoppningsvis låter det mer naturligt i hela filmens kontext. Manhattans röst passar dock honom bra; man förväntar sig något mer dånande från en gudalik karaktär men den lågmälda stämman accentuerar hans kvarvarande mänsklighet.
Musiken funkar utmärkt... ända tills gitarren kickar in mot slutet. Även om det ger en 80-talsfeel så känns det mindre som Watchmen och mer som The Avengers eller nåt liknande. Faktum är att första halvan av trailern ger en mycket bättre känsla för vad Watchmen är än den spretigt klippta andra halvan, som försöker ge sken av en actionfilm.
Och nu är det bortom tvekan att slutet är ändrat. *suck*
Hoppas verkligen att Snyder vet vad han gör, för hela berättelsen hänger på det.
