Comic Con: Watchmen, McG, and Groveling Fanboy Horror Sycophants
Today was day 2 of the New York Comic Con. There was only one major movie panel this year since the Con fell a little too far from summer this time around. First up was Watchmen. Dave Gibbons gave an introduction then showed the first 18 minutes of the film, plus one scene from later in the movie.
The first scene is the Comedian’s murder, and it’s just how you’d think it would be from the trailer, except that it’s a little too 300-y and scored with Nat King Cole’s “Unforgetable.” The real stunner is the opening credits sequence. First off, it’s really long. We go from the Minutemen in the 30′s to the Watchmen (yes, they’re called that) in the 80′s and everything in between, with cameos from David Bowie, JFK and more. It’s shot in a zooming slow mo/faux- still photography style that really jumps off the screen. Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” works perfectly. Almost teared up…almost.
