Ideal Cast for the Watchmen
Here are the kinds of conversations two movie/comic nerds have when no one is looking:
We heard that there was a Watchmen movie, and we're (understandably) freaked out by the possibility of it being ruined as some of our other literary favorites have been. We figured a good cast would be a good start.
I'm sure G will remember our Ozy choice (she always does). =D
We still need a director, though. I'll save that for another post.
Ah well, the real director of the movie posted this recently. Cool!

Rorschach: Christian Bale.
Comedian: Jim Carey. How about Ron Perlman?
Ozymandias: I'm thinking that Laurence Fishburn would be the man. I think we were considering Liam Neeson.
Jude Law? NEVER.
Dr Manhattan: Eric Bana is a good choice, as far as the look. I haven't seen enough of his work to know if he could pull off this role.
Nite-Owl: Alan Tudyk..end of story. Anyone else just won't do.
Silk Spectre: Natalie Portman Who would be the old Silk Spectre?Elizabeth Perkins still working? Connie Sellecca could look the part, but did she learn to act recently?
The Pirate: Kevin Bacon. Oh yeah.
Having been told the actual cast, I'm disappointed in the Nite-Owl choice. He was good as the photographer in Hard Candy though.
The choice for Rorschach, yeah I can totally see him doing it. The guy playing Rorschach, Jackie Earle Haley...anybody else recognize him from something other than "Little Children"? Think back, try to picture him as a child. If it doesn't come to you, then look it up. But try not to cheat.
I love that Max Headroom is going to be in the movie.
