| Dave Gibbons: I’d love to collaborate with Alan on another comic project. On any project.

I think we’ve enjoyed it as wel | Seriously though, I feel like this is all a vile bit of strategy to help Fox have a better $ummer at the multiplex in 2009. Think about it: if Watchmen gets knocked off the '09 lineup, it leaves the comic book lane wide open for Fox's own properties, most notably X-Men Origins: Wolverine . The simple truth is that Fox has reason to be scared: since the first trailer premiered , then the fan fervor at this year's Comic-Con , and now acclaimed directors like Kevin Smith spouting gospel about how freakin good Watchmen truly is , the movie has been blown-up as one the most highly anticipated releases of 2009.

| This is the post I never, ever, wanted to write. The post I never, ever thought I'd have to write. But writing it I am, scarcely believing the words even as I type them: the Watchmen movie is embroiled in a legal battle that, (in a worst case scenario,) could end up having it be barred from release, indefinit | So that made the scenes that were dark and creepy stand out that much more in contrast. I wouldn't recommend bringing the little ones to this as their are some mighty creepy looking creatures in the film, and one scene were a couple of agents are eaten alive by a bunch of little critters with lots of te |

| The legal broo-ha-ha started back in February of this year, when Fox filed a copy infringement and breach of contract suit against studio Warner Bros., which owns the current version of Watchmen being helmed by director Zack Snyder ( 300 ). Fox's claim was that they had obtained the rights to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' genre-shattering graphic novel, and all subsequent film endeavors related to it, between the years of 1986 and 1 | Tarantino’s been subject to some mixed reviews on his most recent projects – can this be the one to turn it around? We’re certainly hoping and looking forward to it and its interesting cast includes Brad Pitt, Mike Myers and Eli R |

| Of course, in order to promote the film adaptation of a hallowed comic book like Watchmen , the filmmakers have to first win the approval of fanboys. To further that end, the Watchmen movie official website scored an exclusive interview with Watchmen illustrator and co-creator, artist Dave Gibb | Can this prequel/reboot of a film bring Star Trek back to the mainstream and make it "cool" once again?

Damn being silent, let your battle-cry be heard on this | This was not an easy task to say the least. While there are several obvious big-name titles coming out next year, there are also 765 movies planned to debut next year in total (according to Movieweb ). Narrowing that down to just ten is not the easiest of tasks especially when certain films have shared little information with us so far (wink wink nudge nudge to James Cameron’s Avata |

| Lost should win Best TV Show (I love Dexter , but it's no Lost ); Best Horror [[https://Superheromoviespot.com/|Superhero Movie Games Beginner Guide|Https://Superheromoviespot.Com/]] should go to Let The Right One In (I would say Drag Me To Hell , but since that's a comedy too, Let The Right One takes it for me); Best Actor in a Fantasy Movie Or TV Show should go to Brad Pitt for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ; and Best Comic Book Movie should (EASILY) go to Watchm | With Watchmen having already wrapped its principal shoot, and gearing up for its March 6, 2009 release, Fox is urging that the case to be fast-tracked, and, if this latest court action is any indication , the judge will heed that call. Even worse, Fox isn't just looking to dip into Warner Bros.' pockets for profits: they'd rather see the film banned from theaters altoget |

| Personally, I'd love to see a sequel to The Rundown , which I think is an under-appreciated film that features Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Sean William Scott cooking up some great comedic chemistry. I'd much rather he concentrate on doing another one of that than do Hancock 2 , because frankly, I don't wanna' see another Hancock . To me, the first installment was a fun-at-times film, but one that didn't live up to its huge potential, IMHO. And the story was fine for one film, but the possible sequel storyline pitched by Berg awhile back didn't sound that good to | I think it's definitely worth seeing, and I'll be very curious to hear what you think of it. I really think Watchmen is destined to be a cult movie - not very mainstream, but with a smaller and very dedicated core of fans loving it as time goes |

| Below is the list of a selection of the 32 categories from this year's Scream nominations. For those of you (all of you?) who want to have YOUR say on which film should win, you're in luck!

But before you head off to vote, here are some of the nomin | Director Guillermo del Toro's fingerprints are all over this, right from the start of the film. We actually meet Hellboy as a, well, boy - and this gives John Hurt a chance to cameo as the adopted father of Hellboy, despite his having died in the first film.

| "The film breaks a lot of taboos, and has certain elements that, if you're a studio executive, might make you think, "Why in the hell would we make a film like this?" One thing I don't think anyone got from the script was how humorous and fun it is.... They were like, "Is it a gangster film, is it a comedy? What is this? We don't get it! We're not making it!" So we thought "Fair enough. Screw you guys, we're going to go off and make | So what didn't work? I thought that both Malin Akerman and Carla Gugino were quite weak. Akerman's performance came across as pretty shallow to me, and Gugino's first real scene in the film as an old woman almost had me laughing out loud because it seemed so campy. I could take or leave Patrick Wilson's performance - maybe it was just the character he was playing that left me c |

The categories range from the usual Best Film (separated into Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction etc) to Best DVD release and Best DVD Special Edit | This is NOT really a superhero movie in the sense that we've come to know the genre.

That version of the movie, because when we were up there we physically shot the in’s and out’s, scenes at the newsstand that go into the movie. There’s like scenes where our characters pass the newsstand and then we pick up action at the newsstand and it gets us into the Black Freighter….with shots that go into it and it comes to life and you follow the Black Freighter story and then come back into the movie. That version of the movie is the director’s cut with the Black Freighter intercut. That version sort of traces the structure of the Black Freighter that's integrated into the comic book… So that version is the 3 hour and 25 minute version. So you have all those in’s and out’s…but the director’s cut includes the Hollis death stuff, that’s just a lot more connective tissue…it’s hard for me to even remember exactly what’s in it. But it’s just a lot m |
