WATCHMEN: the Movie that was NEVER supposed to Happen
Bringing Watchmen to the big screen was a journey almost as dark as the comicbook story itself. Over 20 years, the adaptation passed through multiple studios, directors, and drastically different visions-at one point involving time travel and the Iraq War. Arnold Schwarzenegger was nearly cast as Dr. Manhattan, and Robin Williams was considered for the team.
In this video, we explore the long, chaotic process of turning Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic graphic novel into a movie, uncovering what went wrong, what almost happened, and how the impossible finally became reality.

    He's been at the top of my all time favs ever since I watched him in Xena playing Julius Caesar - again, nailed the part. Whenever I think of Julius Caesar to this day, I think of the one Karl Urban played. Btw, I think his Caesar was way cooler (and attractive) than cupid, but he did great as cupid too.

    Zack Snyder's Watchmen is burdened with flaws, chief among them being Zack Snyder. Moore and Gibbons presented action that was not comic-book fisticuffs, but something that tended to be much uglier, scarier and realistic. Instead, Snyder has a character jump onto the roof of a burning building, fall through the roof and make a lovely, glossy slo-mo 3-point landing on the floor beneath. Doing that would have killed the real person that character was intended to represent.

    13:06 Goode is perfect casting, considering for 2008 the Superman face was Brandon Routh and he and Goode look very alike, and in comics Ozymandias and Superman have exactly the same face per Gibbons. Also Ozy's costume in ZS version is closest to Joel Schumacher style version of Superman, especially if you recolor it and ad S symbol, and for people who don't know in original comics neither Shuster nor Kane painted nipples on half naked Clark or Bruce so the whole "nipples" thing is actually valid take considering that costume supposed to be so skin tight that if you recolor it into skin color it would be exactly the same - logo, which is also real reason for "trunks" too. Also Zack's Dollar Bill is the only red trunks in the movies that are like in Superman actual comics. Ironically.

    11:23 he is such a pretentious hypocritical bag it is absolutely insane, if you read his 1988 interview he was absolutely ecstatic about Watchmen movie idea. But it is not the first case of him being completely wrong or clueless, his commentary on Weisinger's "influence" on Superman is a testament itself just how full of it at least current Moore truly is when it comes to even objective facts, not even in terms of mental gymnastics about "comics format intended".

    Out of all A listers Eg - leo , cruise , pitt , Clooney etc. Pitt has the most diverse and exciting filmography his movies from seven to adastra is remarkable. Note he is successful even without doing any great franchise film or any big director like Scorsese , Spielberg or Cameroon.

    American History X one of the most iconic movies in cinematic history? Whilst i appreciate your video, this statement shows you cant have watched many movies. Its a great movie, but way down on the iconic list. And whilst his Oscar loss was undeserved, i can think of many many others that were bigger injusticies. At least thay year also had McKellan and Nolte nominated who always give solid performances.

    Gosh, this voice! Of all the voices you use, this is definitely the worst. Every sentence is articulated to the max, which makes nothing stand out. Not going to finish watching the video as it the voice is so distracting and cheesy. Completely botching the pronunciation of Jean Reno too. So embarrassing. Is this an AI voice?

    It's like any other celebrity with questionable character but conventionally attractive looks. Pitt's acting or 'versatility' isn't something of significance; he essentially has the same presence in each film - except wearing a different costume/makeup

    Children were totally allowed to watch it you dork. It’s called going into another movie. It’s called anyone with you who appears 17 and you’re all in. It’s called going into another movie. That was our Star Wars. No film came close to the amount of psychotic amazing perfect shit they pulled off. It still looks perfect today. It looks like it was made tomorrow. Nothing else would ever live up to these first two because they were so obviously going to be awful. Too much time had gone by and we were like naw.

    Watchmen Chapter I / II (2024/2025) is the best way to adapt Watchmen and a good way to adapt some comics or comic strips. I'd love to see them using this cel-shading technique to adapt Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon, Neal Adams' Batman, Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson's Swamp Thing etc.
