**millerman 3732** · 07-22-2008 11:25 AM

Directed by Zack Snyder (300) so it's bound to be cool.

Trailer.

Now... if we could finally convince them to make either a Sandman or The Preacher movie, I would be in seventh heaven.

**Bass_Pedal** · 07-22-2008 11:50 AM

Looks good. I wonder if they are still going to have Nixon as president...

**shawn474** · 07-22-2008 12:03 PM

This is going to be a GREAT movie. It's kind of flying under the radar, with the Hulk, Spider-Man, The X-men, Iron Man and Batman getting all the press for comic book to big screen movies. This is by far one of my favorite comic books (graphic novels, really) of all time. I am waiting to see if they will ever adapt a movie from the Kingdom Come series.

I know, I know. I'm a nerd...........:p

**Ron-P** · 07-22-2008 12:19 PM

Looks strange, but kinda cool. A rental at best though.

**zombie boy 2000** · 07-22-2008 12:25 PM

Frank Miller and now Alan Moore. Looks like Hollywood is actually getting it right. Just bring on Neil Gaiman.

Well, they're advertising in 8 months before it opens as a preview to Dark Knight, the biggest movie in a while. . . so, don't see how this will remain under the radar hype / attention wise for long.

Not familiar with the story / comics, but looks pretty cool. Awesome special effects in the preview.

I was just showing my girlfriend my Watchmen #1 yesterday! I agree Preacher would be bad ass and so would Astro City if it had a big enough budget.

Well... I did some research on a possible film adaptation of The Preacher and it appears that HBO is working on a series as we speak. Every episode will be a single issue starting from the beginning. Awesome.

I saw the trailer at Batman. Looks really cool. I'll be going to see it for sure.

Related story: Guillermo Del Toro is in talks with Neil Gaiman to write the screenplay for the upcoming DOCTOR STRANGE movie. Can you imagine a better pairing?

**zombie boy 2000** · 07-22-2008 05:15 PM

Hoy Crap!!!! I love Dr Strange. I love Gaiman. And I love Del Toro. This is probably one of the most exciting bits of entertainment news I have ever heard.

**Ron-P** · 11-14-2008 01:18 PM

I take back what I said above, this film looks AWESOME. I can't wait to see it, this new trailer is kick-ass.

Ok, is that supposed to be batman or what? I dunno, if not the costume is too close. If is is, it ain't Batman without Christian Bale.

Hmmm...

**Aqs612scag** · 11-15-2008 12:12 AM

Here's more info on the character. Apparently, they made a change to the original costume to make it look more menacing. Sorta looks like Batman though.

It's coming down to just over a week before this movie comes out. I just finished reading the comic again. I wonder how close to the source material it will be? I love the fact that they went all the way with the R rating. A true adult concept.

**doggie750** · 02-25-2009 10:19 AM

dr.strange ?

**bopicasso** · 02-25-2009 10:23 AM

I have tickets to the screening on March 3rd. Im looking forward to it.

**KrazyMofo24** · 03-06-2009 01:50 PM

Watched it at the IMAX last night. Very good movie, much better than I thought it was going to be. I wouldn't suggest bringing the kids to this movie, it has nudity and graphic violence. The movie has very good special effects, and I liked the selection of music they used for the movie worth watching in the IMAX or theater.

**metal83** · 03-06-2009 02:19 PM

Thinking about going to see this in IMAX over the weekend. That is if i can get tickets, my IMAX theater sells out so damn quick with these types of movies.

**Ron-P** · 03-06-2009 03:44 PM

It gets a solid "A" from me, fantastic film, very, very well done.

**bobman1235** · 03-06-2009 03:47 PM

While I want to see it, more than that I desperately want to STOP HEARING ABOUT IT. Holy crap does marketing get annoying.

Any female nudity, or is it just waste of good screen flesh time?

You get to see quite a bit of...

Maybe I will be getting my Blu-Ray player sooner than planned.

**Ron-P** · 03-06-2009 06:24 PM

Ummm, yeah, she's HOT!

**ND13** · 03-07-2009 12:49 AM

She's Scrumpdeliicous!!!

Got tired of seeing Mr. Manhattan's package though. There was no real value. What, half the time he where's his cod piece and the rest not? Guess they had to give the ladies and some gents their eyeful, too. I only wish they would have done the same for her.

A+++ flick, though, with an opening for more. Can't wait for BLU RAY!!!!

**Ron-P** · 03-07-2009 01:24 AM

The Blu-ray will be the EE directors cut.

**MacLeod** · 03-07-2009 11:59 AM

Im actually surprised to see such high reviews. From the previews it looked a little too convoluted and that the story would get lost in all the special FX. Guess Im gonna have to check this one out tho.
