silentbob Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Is this taking place after the comic or in the same time frame? Seems like it is the after affects of the comics with the group of Rorschach’s banning together. I wonder if this is a calling from what was found in the journal Rorschach left behind to be found.

Brick Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 This looks nothing like the graphic novel, but maybe that's a good thing. Expand on the ideas of it, rather than a direct adaptation, which makes more sense if HBO wants multiple seasons from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Ehhh as a massive fan of the book and someone who even really enjoyed the movie...that didn’t convince me I should care about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckle85 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Even though Alan Moore had nothing to do with this(?), that trailer has sparked my interest. If the story is mostly self-contained instead of trying to be a direct sequel to the original it could end up being something special I think. There's just a lot of interesting imagery and mysteriousness in that footage that makes me want to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like the world that we probably get as a result of Rorschach leaving his journal with that paper. I don't see any other scenario where he gets imitators and/or admirers.

Eh...I'll probably watch it. I love the book, so I'll go in with tempered expectations and my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckle85 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 It can be a sequel and still a mostly self-contained story though, no? There are plenty of movies, comics, games, books etc with sequels like that. I'm sure it will acknowledge events of the first Watchmen, but not to what extent.

Greatoneshere Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Seems like everyone forgot just how good The Leftovers (Damon Lindelof's most recent work) was. I'm all in for this. It's a direct sequel taking place 30 years after the Watchmen graphic novel ended. It incorporates elements from the prequel/sequel Watchmen material that was more recently written but this is otherwise its own thing. Should be very interesting.

Greatoneshere Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looks bloody fantastic. Guys, it's from the dude who did The Leftovers. It's gonna likely be great. And yes, it's a direct sequel, taking place 30 years later. I believe it takes material from the prequel and sequel novels that were written more recently by other famous comic book writers, as well as doing its own thing.

Given Ozymandias in this trailer says the iconic line Manhattan told him from the graphic novel ("nothing ever ends") that wasn't in the film (one of the film's biggest missteps, Sally Jupiter says it to Night Owl II instead) this seems like a direct sequel to the graphic novel, and is ignoring the film. And I like the film a good bit (the director's cut version that is). Still, that'd be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think the trailer looks great. They're expanding on the mythology of the novel in interesting ways. I'll certainly give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I actually meant to say "I hope they got Crudup back even though this is a sequel to the comic"...I must have had a stroke or something to forget to type the rest lol But yes! I'm hoping for now that they got him in there anyway...I know Doc is CG mo-cap, but Crudup's voice was just perfect for him. He nailed the tone perfectly. So I'm hoping against hope they got him in the studio to record some lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
