6/18/2023 0 Comments Watchmen silk spectre figure![]() ![]() ![]() WATCHMEN was released in three commercial versions: the theatrical cut (162 minutes), the “Director’s Cut” (186 minutes), and the “Ultimate Cut” (215 minutes). However, Snyder has already changed his film. But it’s the strictest rendering of his work, by far, in movie form … I’m incredibly proud of it and I wouldn’t change it at all." (Zack Snyder, 2012) It’s funny that Alan Moore has said he’s against “Watchmen” the movie. I had a stranglehold on the studio that allowed me to make a super-personal love letter to that graphic novel. It’s not 100% pure ‘Watchmen.’” And I’d say, “Are you kidding me? Are you crazy?” “300″ allowed me to make this movie exactly how I wanted it. I don’t get it anymore, but I think people have seen the reality. Regardless of the degree of its authenticity, Snyder maintains: Comics are just a sort of pumpkin patch growing franchises that might be profitable for the ailing movie industry." (Alan Moore, 2008)Īlthough Zack Snyder’s production of WATCHMEN (2009) was billed as a faithful treatment and its design was uncannily similar to the world drawn by Dave Gibbons, there were significant alterations made to Moore’s characters and story, including a fundamental change to the genocidal plot and the climactic scene. It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise. "There are three or four companies now that exist for the sole purpose of creating not comics, but storyboards for films. Dissatisfied with past adaptations of his work, Moore refused any association with a WATCHMEN film and has argued that Hollywood has a detrimental effect on the comics industry: Since its first publication, Hollywood producers wanted to adapt Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’s WATCHMEN (1986-1987) comics for the screen. My intention for WATCHMEN: MIDNIGHT has been to work with available materials to make this film adaptation more closely resemble the original comics, recognizing that it can never be a perfect 1:1 translation. ![]()
