So Warner Brothers showed about 2 minutes of Watchmen footage on an awards show this week, and they’ve now put that footage online. I’m pretty sure this is the same as the brief “sizzle reel” they showed alongside the three full scenes at the roadshow a couple of weeks ago. So there’s not much new for me to say about it, other than that I really do wish Zack Snyder was a little less enamored with motion effects, but then, post-Changeling, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to take slow motion seriously again. What say you?
I say that other than Zack’s love for vinyl/leather (and the needless slow motion), I am the most confident I’ve ever been going into an Alan Moore adaptation.
I’m sure that I’m just underestimating Hollywood’s capacity for destroying the things I love.
