Two Trailers
Two more comic book movie trailers are on the internet, Watchmen and The Spirit. I remember them talking about a Watchmen movie fifteen years ago (the word was that Arnold Schwartzenegger was interested in playing Dr. Manhattan), but it is only now that the thing has finally been released.
By the way, the role of Dr. Manhattan is played by Billy Crudup. Rorschach, the favorite of many fans of the comic, will be played by former child actor Jackie Earle Haley. The site for the movie is here.
Also coming out later this year, The Spirit. This is particularly exciting, since the Spirit is possibly the greatest comic ever written. And yes, I can back that up. The film's site is here.
For those that are curious, the producers have decided against portraying Ebony White, the overly stereotyped black sidekick that made fewer and fewer appearances as the series went on.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

I had heard about The Watchman but not about the other one. Is this just a lame attempt to cash in on the roaring success of Spiderman, Batman and Superman? Because while The Spirit may be the best comic ever, is it known by a broad enough audience to be a so so commercial success? I know the comic book loving fan boy base are all grown up with girlfriends/wives now but I am not sure that is enough to get a lot of warm bodies into the theatres.
Of course attendance is up regardless like it always is when you have bad economic times (or in the case of Spiderman 1, really horrible times in general) and people are wanting escapes.
But Spiderman and the other two had massive appeal in a general audience and the Batman/Superman franchises had been major commercial successes long before people were all depressed.
Oh well. I am just rambling.
