Dave Gibbons, maðurinn sem teiknaði Watchmen-myndasöguna og gegndi
hlutverki „ráðgjafans“ á settinu, svaraði nokkrum spurningum á New York
Comic-Con þegar kynningin fyrir myndina var búin. Áhorfendur fengu að
sjá fyrstu 18 mínúturnar úr myndinni.
Gibbons hafði
ýmislegt skemmtilegt að segja varðandi myndina. Hér fyrir neðan er
stuttur pistill frá JoBlo.com þar sem einn áhorfandinn segir frá því
helsta sem Gibbons hafði að segja, sem er ýmislegt mjög áhugavert.

was surprised to learn that Gibbons had seen the film multiple times,
and had nothing but praise for what Snyder and crew have accomplished.
Gibbons reminisced about well-documented meetings he and Alan had in
the past with bloated producer Joel Silver who he confirmed, wanted
Arnold Schwarzenegger to play Dr. Manhattan. Holy God. He also
confirmed that Terry Gilliam wanted to make the film in the nineties
but Gibbons joked that he’d probably „still be working on it today“ and
that it would have ultimately „crushed him.“

Gibbons
also mentioned that Paul Greengrass was at one point involved as well,
but that ultimately he could not be happier with the choice of Snyder.
He mentioned that the studio pushed for Zack to set WATCHMEN in present
day, so as not to alienate new audiences unfamiliar with the source
material. It was Snyder’s „masterstroke“ to set the film in 1985 as Moore intended it, said Gibbons.Gibbons
also said that his involvement with the film was minimal, however he
did draw a series of brand new pages of the graphic novel, that Snyder
used as a storyboard for an original sequence in the film! The pages
can be found in one of the many production books being timed with the
film’s release.

Moore’s
reluctance to have WATCHMEN turned into a film has been highly
publicized, but honestly, Gibbons seemed absolutely giddy about it. He
stressed that he wasn’t being
paid by DC to promote the film–that he was doing it because he truly
believed in the final product. He likened watching the movie to
literally watching his „dreams come true“, and spoke of one moment in
particular that is so emotionally devastating it nearly brought him to
tears.

If
you guys were unsure whether or not this movie will live up to your
expectations, this will hopefully help to alleviate your concerns. Dave
Gibbons–the co-creator of WATCHMEN–is a BIG fan of the film. Right
f*cking on.
