''He reveals that realistically, superheroes must be kinda psycho,'' says Morgan (TV's <i>Supernatural</i>). ''You've got to like beating the s--- out of people to do this kind of thing. Only too late does he realize there might be more to life than that.'' </p> <p> <span class="led2">Rorschach</span><br /><b>Jackie Earle Haley</b><br />He's an extreme vigilante whose pitiless morality was forged by an abusive upbringing and investigating a horrific child murder. Haley (<i>Little Children</i>) found playing the character ''unsettling,'' and says he can't do Rorschach's trademark grumble (''Hurm''), without donning that morphing inkblot mask. </p> <p> <span class="led2">Ozymandias</span><br /><b>Matthew Goode</b><br />Dubbed ''the smartest man in the world,'' brainy billionaire Adrian Veidt shrewdly quit do-gooding and went public with his true identity before the masses soured on superheroes. He then leveraged his celebrity to amass a fortune. ''You think he's a sellout,'' says Goode (<i>Match Point</i>). ''But then you realize his terrifying integrity.'' </p> <p> <span class="led2">Dr. Manhattan</span><br /><b>Billy Crudup</b><br />After a lab accident ripped him asunder, physicist Jon Osterman returned as an omniscient superman. He's America's ultimate weapon — he won the Vietnam War! — but it's increasingly hard for him to care. ''Why bother with human beings when you can peer into a star?'' says Crudup (<i>Jesus' Son</i>). ''It's a thrilling thought experiment.'' </p> <p> <span class="led2">Silk Spectre</span><br /><b>Malin Akerman</b><br />Forced into the spandex life by her superhero mother, Laurie Juspeczyk is now stuck in a bad relationship with an emotionally remote Dr. Manhattan. ''She has to go through that journey of finding herself,'' says Akerman (<i>The Comeback</i>). Her costume, she says, was ''like wearing a wet bathing suit with a cinched corset.'' </p> <p> <span class="led2">Nite Owl</span><br /><b>Patrick Wilson</b><br />For Dan Dreiberg, being a superhero was a noble, gee-whiz hobby. Gadgets and costumes, adventures and helping people. But now, outlawed, he just mopes around in an impotent, nostalgic funk. ''He's a big man who's gotten soft,'' says Wilson (<i>Angels in America</i>). A romance with Silk Spectre gets his freak flag flying again. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2392851121492004396-6914854965639344279?l=watching-watchmen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>appsnoknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2392851121492004396.post-13430151428094924832008-11-20T08:28:00.001+07:002008-11-20T08:49:31.939+07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/081112/Watchmen/WM_TEASER2_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/081112/Watchmen/WM_TEASER2_l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />"<span style="font-weight: bold;">Watchmen</span>" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.<br /><br />When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes.<br /><br />As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future.<br /><br />Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2392851121492004396-1343015142809492483?l=watching-watchmen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>appsnoknoreply@blogger.com0
