Since the comic book came out, there have been threats to make a Watchmen movie. RevolutionSF documented the development of the movie from "No way," to "way" and all points in between.

From the Archives

We went back, way back, back into time, all the way back to 1999 to hear from Terry Gilliam.

No Watchmen Movie, Again

In 2005, the director quit.

One of the problems was, "The cost of special effects! Oh mercy lawd! How can we do more than one special effect'!"

Rorschach's Journal

A website made us think there would be a Watchmen movie. How dare it?

Watchmen Movie Cast Announced

On July 26, 2007, the movie cast was named. Or, as we wrote, "Malin Ackerman survived appearing on Earth Final Conflict."

Fox Lawsuit Better Not Screw Up Watchmen Movie

The opening salvo in the Fox lawsuit was fired. Silly Fox. Silly, money-grubbing Fox.

Their First Pictures

The first time we saw them in costume. They are just precious.

Under the Hood

The revelation that the comic's pirate story and superhero documentary will be on DVD a few weeks after the movie is out. More stuff to spend money on!

Trailer Probe

RevolutionSF watched the the first trailer. We said, "Watch it with the sound off if you're not into Smashing Pumpkins."

Watchmen vs. Dark Knight: RevolutionSF Has An Opinion

Mark Finn said, "The worst thing they could have POSSIBLY done was put the Watchmen trailer on Dark Knight. Talk about the sacred and the profane."

Watchmen Pulls A Spielberg

Director Zack Snyder changed something in the trailer.

Watchmen On Your Cell Phone

A Watchmen cell phone game. Seriously.

Lessons Learned

Watchmen teaches us about vigilantism, attitude, and history.

Countdown to Stupid-Assery

We gathered up all the stupid-ass developments in the Fox lawsuit. Fun!

Congratulations, Idiots

They reached a settlement. So we gave them some slow, sarcastic applause.

First Review

We have concrete proof that the movie exists! One of us saw it! If we choose to believe him.
