janradderI just came across these images showing the costumes for the upcoming Watchmen movie:
Aside from the fact that Nite -Owl isn't fat, the costumes actually make me kind of excited about the movie (The Rorschach image really does look cool) although I am reminded of the fact that the costumes for another Moore adaptation, V for Vendetta, were also pretty cool but then the movie royally sucked. I'm really worried that the same fate shall befall any Watchmen adaptation as well. When the comic first came out I was working in low budget movies and my fellow lighting director and I were totally geeked out about all the possibilities of a movie adaptation (we both loved the fact that the movie was already storyboarded with pullbacks, dollies, wideshots, closeups, etc.). In the following years, watching wretched adaptations of comics, my hopes of a good Watchmen movie have diminished greatly. In the meantime, though, these photos look pretty cool.
