Watchmen the Graphic Novel

There have been several leaks from test screenings that was held last month for the watchmen. It left many of the hardcore fans of the book a little upset with the ending of the movie adaptation of the graphic novel. It was totally different from what Alan Moore had written in his book. Zach Snyder finally responds to the online criticism on Dark Horizons.

“The squid was not in the movie when I got the script, the squid was never in any draft that I saw. My point is only that there was this elegant solution to the squid problem that I kind of embraced. I’m a fan of the thing as much as anyone, I was saying what are we going to do about this before I even read the script,” said Snyder. “The fans, god love ‘em, they’re all up in arms about the squid. What they should be up in arms about are things like shooting the pregnant woman, ‘God is real and he’s American’, whether THAT’s in the movie. That’s my point of view, maybe I’m crazy.”

“The one thing that was cool was that anyone who had read the graphic novel who was at the screening rated the film ‘excellent’, for me I’m like ‘I’m done’.”

Snyder confirmed that he only shot one ending to the film, ending rumors that the ending that was screened in Portland was one of a couple of choices. There will be a second trailer for the movie that will be attached with the release of Quantum of solace this Friday in the US. Zach had this to say about the Solace trailer “a little bit more story” that will give you “a sense of the characters plight – ‘we were supposed to make the world a better place… what happened to the American Dream’”. He also confirmed a third trailer that will be released early next year.
