I'm personally biased toward "Rocket" myself....but again, that's mostly owing to my penchant for Jena Malone.

Rocket and Sweet Pea are my favs.
I like my women to be able to handle a weapon

You must've missed the GIANT SAMURAI WITH THE GATTLING GUN.

Yeah, no kidding!

Seriously - this movie is going to be a very FUN movie - so get ready, and Get Into It!

Is that the one with all the chicks? Alpha?

I'm rather partial to Blondie.

I've always thought that Vanessa Hudgens was attractive.

Of course it is!

Well, if we're talking about the same thing.... right?

You can now keep discussing which kind of German military force is presented in this movie:

Looks pretty groovy. Hope that it delivers, rather than just being a no-brain, poorly coordinated, "how little clothes can we give the main characters" kind of film.

Being a longtime reader of graphic novel I just gotta chime in my $0.02 here. I think that director kind of missed a lot of the watchmen's real point by not including the pirate story subplot, and changing the ending completely. He also completely ruined 300 for me after having read the book years before. All of Leonidas' inner thoughts were omitted and that was the whole point in the book. Although the effects and visuals look spectacular, I hope he doesn't botch another one. I know I know I'm being elitist but books like that are canon to me just as the bible may be someone else's canon, and having hollywood jump on the bandwagon and make mockerys (with cool graphics) of stuff I loved since I was a kid would be like me re-writing the bible with Adam Sandler as Jesus or something... I'm sure some Xtians would get a bit upset, but hey true fans of the Graphic Novel get a bit upset when we see our Canonical works whored out by hollywood people. Just wait till they get their hands on transmetropolitan...

You do know that compromises not only will be made, but HAVE to be made when translating any book to film, right?

No way was he going to get 5 or 6 hours, or 3 films to do Watchmen 'right'.

The "Pirate Story" was obviously going to be the first thing to go - though didn't they release it on DVD?

Though I'm with you on being disappointed on the ending being changed, apparently Gibbons had no problem with it and thought it was an OK thing to do.

I don't think they will ever be able to make that into a film - way too weird

Are you kidding me? Geektastic political satire with a bowel-disruptor? How can they not get their sticky fingers on that? If they can do Hitch Hikers Guide again again (and that's pretty damn wierd) and make it somewhat successful as a cult classic, I'm pretty sure they can get Spider Jerusalem ranting and raving and tearing apart the religious convention wearing a Jesus/Moses/Nutcase outfit, or standing on a roof with strippers writing newsfeed while watching cops beating up half-aliens below. That isn't wierd at all by todays standards! That's just war-of-the-worlds meets 'a few good men' meets 'the shining' from a different angle. Who the hell would they get to play Spider Jerusalem though? I cannot think of a single actor nowadays that could pull that off... Steve Buscemi comes to mind for his quirkyness as does Jack Nicholsen, but they are both too old. Who would be Spider...? He has to be pissed off, bald, little, and chainsmoking, with a snarky sounding voice like a razor on a chalkboard... Ah... I know... the guy who plays Tom Cruise in all those movies starring Tom Cruise! shave his head.. he's just nutty enough to go with it! And he's little...! then get two dumb hollywood sluts for his filthy assistants and Robert Duval (or something similar, maybe that old southerland guy or nicholson as the politician dude) for his gritty old editor and you got yerself a movie in the making!

Why exactly are they fighting the Death Korp of Kreig again?

Which is waaaay too bad, because Patrick Stewart is on record as saying he would love to play Spider, but feels like he's gotten too old. Anyway, I hate to be a buzzkill, but THIS is obviously going to be the greatest movie ever.

You didn't think "DEATH KORPS OF KREIG" meant they were the 'good' guys, did you?

Ugh - stay out of this thread!

Next thing we know, you'll be linking to the SMURFS movie.

And by that, I mean the SMURFS movie, not the ULTRAMARINES movie.

4

Because they are obviously xenos lovers, look at that blatent display of xenos craftmanship on the wardroid behing them, our glorious troopers are being slaughtered by them while trying to retake the imperial shrine they have difiled by their very presence

So, they are Daemonettes...that explains so much...

I note the presence of 2 x boobs each, so there goes that theory!

Is that a serious "hope"?

IF yes, I fear you might be setting yourself up to be disappointed...

@CT GAMER:
Such is the rest of life.

@Alpharius:
It's called CGI

...It's a trap...?

I have read that it is more like "Girl, Interrupted" meets Alice in Steampunkland.

I wonder if this will beat tankgirl...

Trailer looks like LOTR, Kill Bill, Ultraviolet and WW1 had a steampunk lovechild...

So in other words, it looks 'good'!

I do like my steampunk.

pardon me sir, but Sweet pea would claim the title of hottest and coolest.

It will suck storywise, but it is still packed with tons of awesome.
It's like a bacon ice cream sandwich with hot peppers, filled with awesome but overall meh.

Indeed.
