First look at the Minutemen from “Watchmen”
The movie Watchmen wont be out until March of 2009, but we’re starting to get more information and details trickling in.
If you don’t know much about the movie, it’s based on the groundbreaking graphic novel frrom 1985 about a group of superheroes that you’ve never heard of before. It traces their origins back to the early Depression days and how there were just men (and women) who decided to fight crime vigilante-style.
The story focuses mainly on the second generation of these superheroes, some of which have actually evolved some super powers.
But the photo we have from the film is the group shot of the original heroes, or Minutemen, from the 1940s.
This movie is looking good, although word is that it could clock in around THREE HOURS and have an extended, DVD version at four hours.
Here is the photo below.

They could show the full four hour cut that way (for the fanboys like me) and not cause deep vein thrombosis!

But it would definitely be nice to see a four-hour version for fanatics...because there is a lot of good stuff in the novel.

Have you seen the production diaries and shots of the set design? All the stuff in the '80s looks perfect. Like NYC in the late '70s and early '80s - rundown, dirty, decrepit. The archival stuff looks silly and old-fashioned, like a man in a striped one-piece swimsuit. I think they nailed those costumes.

It seemed long to me, and the action was lacking.
Still, I can SEE how it was influential to the genre and turned it on its heels...but I sort of can see your point.
