I'm excited.But hope it's not the disappointment 'From Hell' was.[/b]

I didn't think From Hell was that bad a film. Obviously not a patch on the graphic novel, but hey, what is?

Anyone know if the long-rumoured Watchmen film is any nearer to, well, being made?

I watched the trailer for V, and it looked intriguing. Could be fun.

I thought From Hell was okay but it had an air of fake all over it. Studio environments, much too handsome leading parts etc. I don't know.

Anyways, Watchmen looks to be put on hold. IMDB says Paramount put the project in turnaround: the producers are taking it to other studios. Alas.

Ah of course, IMDB. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks.

IIRC Terry Gilliam was going to direct it but it was yet another ill fated project.

It would be a massive undertaking but if it's done well it would be amazing. I'd like to see Aranofsky direct it.

I was thinking who would be good as the main characters?

for some reason i can't get the trailers to play...

i'll reserve judgement until i see it. obviously as a huge comics fan i am terrified at the idea of just how bad this could end up being -there is enough precedent for awful comics-to-film adaptations- but having seen the fantastic treatment given to "sin city" there is hope.

re: the wathchmen film -i wish they had just given terry gilliam the money to do it; i cannot think of any other big-name director i would trust to handle it.
