Who Watches The Watchmen? Mikey Does! Who Wants To Touch Me?

 

{sidebar id = 1} Guests: Zack Snyder, Dave Gibbons, Malin Akerman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Billy Crudup, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Goode

Footage:
A Comic Con Special Presentation Reel set to the most eerily perfect music.

This is one of those moments where I completely fail as a journalist, all my focus goes right out the window and the Fanboy takes over. It doesn't happen often and it takes a really special film to do that which is one of the best compliments I can give a film. However I will do my best to give you an idea of what we got treated to.

Much like the trailer there is little to no dialog throughout the clip, the visuals and the music give you everything you need and more.

Many of the shots were straight from the panels of the book, and shockingly not many repeats from the trailer. Theres a lot more of Dr Manhattan blowing people apart, including more of him getting ripped apart during his transformation. Loads of footage with Rorschach with him in the Owl Lair, and how much hes all over this movie. We see the original Silk Specter and get an overall view of what the movie is going to be like and its nothing short of perfect.

Let me re-iterate my failure as a journalist on this one. The footage was so well received they showed it twice and I am still too stunned to give you any sort of shot by shot description. Its that good.

Panel:
As always Zack knows how to work a crowd like this one, with the entire cast there everyone got a chance to talk about their feeling in making the movie, but nothing scoop worthy was reveled, just good times.

 Can we just fast forward to next March already?
