So I’ve been keeping an eye on the Watchmen blog, and there were recently two cool pieces of news.

First is the first video journal from the production. Its cool to see more of the set in film, as opposed to just stills. And yeah, it looks just as good.

It seriously makes me feel really good about this movie. I’ve been pretty optimistic about the whole thing from the get-go, which I know everyone hasn’t.

I mean, Zack Snyder did a good job with 300. I don’t expect films to be 100% true to the original source material, so its nice to see someone handle the spirit of it accurately.

I do like that he’s not doing as much green-screen as he did on 300. Real sets are nice to see.

Its also pretty sweet that they’re allowing fans to create Veidt-themed ads to run on TV screens throughout the movie. That’s kind of neat.
