The 34th Annual Saturn Awards happened last night (Here are the winners) and among the filmmakers and celebrities in attendance was director Zack Snyder who talked Watchmen with the folks at Collider.He says fighting hard to keep as much as he can from the book in the final film. The studio suits are said to be has been concerned with the edgier elements of the story for rating purposes and the runnning time which Snyder wants at 150-180 minutes theatrically.
Snyder confirmed that he did show off a 20-30 minute sizzle reel to the studio with a couple of completed visual effects, but mostly green screen footage.
The Comic-Con 2008 footage will be several minutes long.. And he's ready for the fact that the footage will end up on Youtube soon after its debut.
Some props may be on display at Comic Con but that has not been confirmed.
Finally he said that the production should easily make the March 9th release date. The DVD - with the Black Freighter add-on - could hit 210 minutes or more.
How many times do I have to say it...I can't wait!!!
