We traveled in a secret location to view images of a film-maker upcoming Zack Snyder, the adaptation of the famous graphic novel
If you have not heard of Watchmen, where were you? Since it was published in mid 1980, the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Davie Gibbons, celebrated as the most revolutionary work of this kind of graphic novel, winning fans with his biased, look tense a world populated with superheroes poor. In fact, it’s so layered, so morally ambiguous and so perfectly made by the makers that it is long believed that “unfilmable”. Thus, when control film has been invited to filmmaker Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 300) connected to a top-secret place for pictures of its upcoming adaptation, we were worried to say the least.
Rorschach closeBut not as formidable as himself seemed Snyder, the director was clearly nervous during the presentation of his film in a room full of (very vocal) fans. Do not fear, but – was not only still images (later) – but his admiration and respect for the material was apparently off the road.
“Watchmen is the comic that the way gender is considered the world has changed,” said Snyder. “Do you like comics and you want them to grow with you and Watchmen, I have experienced. But I had the ego “I must do it in a movie” when I read it. The existence as it was. ”
Nevertheless, Snyder said that when he calls for Paramount to suspect he was the man working the guards who, he could not refuse. “I felt like I could not do it someone else, and this would be my fault if it does not work! At least if I did and it did not, because then my goal. “And, although the studio was initially concerned about the development in 1985, not to mention your very mature, by stabbing her guns Snyder got a script that stays true to the original vision of Moore. Referring to its original height, Snyder shows that he told the studio right, “You know how they say it is a PG-13 ? is a problem for me. It is really cool in sex and violence movie that I think is not suitable for children! “Anyone who has read Watchmen know that with all the sex and violence, the novel is as versatile as a story “probably re-read. But Snyder does not care what is lost in translation from page to screen, as he thinks that viewers of the film are quite cautious to take it all in.
“We have this passion for films of superheroes to Hollywood and I think the mass culture audience is ready for [the movie],” Snyder says with confidence. “Publics of pop culture are willing to have their shit shaken a little when it comes to superhero movies. My mother knows that Peter Parker bitten by a radioactive spider and Superman. It does not matter know! It is my hope that the public will blow their mind because he f *** s with their mythology ”
Rorschach (Jackie Earle Hayley) is a pointAnd based on images we have seen is exactly what happens. The three segments of 10 minutes – the visceral opening sequence, followed by full assembly of credit really distinguishes the history of Watchmen, super-hero Dr. Manhattan emotional memories of events that led to its genetic mutation and the the impact on his life and a promising future prison break – let us gagging for more and said that Snyder knows his source material inside out.
So, is it us, Watchmen is one of the biggest films of next year, and should wow the audience when released in March. But you must steel for adults only viewing experience, such determining Snyder’s graphic novel’s Edge continues to remain intact.
“Superman could get all the world leaders in a room and say if you do not behave, I’ll murder you,” Snyder said of his desire to shake up the already rehabilitated superhero universe. “Do not. It gets cats trees. It seems that you can go all the way to the end. “
