Head over to Watchmen Comic Movie if you want to read Pt. 1 of the Dave Gibbons interview in its entirety, then head back here to let us know if Gibbons’ testimony is a glowing enough endorsement for you to have your butt firmly planted in a theater seat when Watchmen (hopefully) hits theaters on March 6, 2009. ‘Til then we’ll keep our ears the ground and post Pt. 2 of the Gibbons’ interview as soon as it hits the
Dave Gibbons: …Well, I think we deliberately left it ambiguous. There are arguments on both sides. Often, very hard decisions have to be made in the real world…So, from the heart, I would say that [ CENSORED ] was wrong. And I think he really wanted to save the world, but the problem with people of [ CENSORED ] is their ego can’t see their
To borrow a question from the interviewer: Is this another Barrack Obama-type case where del Toro is trying to do everything at once? I mean, I know he’s passionate about making movies, and he certainly has the expertise and skill to make them all quality stuff, but the sheer amount of projects he has lined up is bound to take its toll on anybo

Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx, and RZA s
“Unfortunately, I’ve found in my video game experience that the big companies are just as conservative as the studios. I was disappointed with the first Hellboy game. I’m very impressed with the sandbox of Grand Theft Auto. You can get lost in that world. But we’re using it just to shoot people and run over old ladies. We could be doing so much more…. In the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games… I’ll be trying to make it. But I won’t be trying until after The Hobb
Despite this, I still have faith in the man to pull off all he has committed himself to. Like I said, he certainly has the talent as a filmmaker to pull it all off, we’ve seen that with the likes of Pan’s Labyrinth (which, if you haven’t seen already, do so ASAP – it really is that good), Hellboy (not so much with the sequel, although it was still a fun watch) and The Devil’s Backbo
“There are so many cooks in that particular kitchen that are so busy and Will’s [Smith] kind of taken time off to be with his kids and his kids are now making all kinds of films and there are so many people involved in that from Will to his partner James Lassiter to Akiva [Goldsmith] to Michael Man and myse
Starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and several other stars featured in other big films next year, this 1930s-style crime and dime movie should be awesome. Little has been shown so far, but we have high expectations from the cast and story al
Dave Gibbons: …I am involved in reviewing various materials that are being produced in connection with the Watchmen movie…the motion comics…video games, new editions of the book, sculptures…I’m off in a few weeks to do a mini-tour with Zack to publicize the movie. I’m then doing a mini-tour of the UK to publicize the Watching the Watchmen book and a similar mini-tour of the US to do the same…I’ve also done pieces of licensing art, to get the definitive look of the movie characters…It’s often the case that this kind of work is done by people who aren’t connected with the original property, with the inevitable lack of authenticity and so on…hopefully my approach to it will filter through to the final products and they will be, to that degree, much more faithful to the original graphic no
When asked about whether Hancock 2 would be his next film AFTER Battleship , Berg said he wants to do Lone Survivor , which tells the tale of, “17 seals that were killed in one gunfight in Afghanistan. One survived.” But what about after that? Well, Berg didn’t say, but hasn’t ruled out a sequel to his action-adventure, The Rundown . He’s not sure why there hasn’t already been plans put in place to do The Rundown 2 , but said he’d definitely be up for doing anot
On top of The Hobbit – which is going to be one time-consuming, exhaustive challenge to say the least (just think about the pressure he’s under to “get it right”) – he also has found the time to plan and start writing a trilogy of vampire novels, has a four-picture deal with Universal to make a Frankenstein superhero movie games achievements|https://superheromoviespot.com/, an adaptation the classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five , a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie, and an adaptation of the vampire novel Drood . After that, Universal hopes to pin him down for his “pet project” At the Mountains of Madness . To put it simply: He’s booked solid until at least 2
