Posted 3/2/09 10:03 am EST by in DC Comics, News


Here we are, "Watchmen" watchers -- after months of anticipation (not to mention the threat of an indefinite delay), we're mere days away from the world premiere of Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' groundbreaking graphic novel. And if you think the full-court marketing push for "Watchmen" will be letting up now that we can see March 6 on our calendars, think again, as Warner Bros. has released a plethora of TV spots and a series of all-new featurettes featuring the cast, director and co-creator.

Here's Malin Ackerman (Silk Spectre II) and Billy Crudup (Dr. Manhattan):

'Watchmen' Star Malin Ackerman On Film's Legal Troubles: 'Sh-- Happens'

Posted 1/8/09 6:06 pm EST by in DC Comics, Hot Stuff, News, Video


The release date for the "Watchmen" movie continues to reside in legal limbo, with studios Warner Bros and Fox most recently calling for the judge presiding over the case to decide when -- or possibly, if -- the film will make it to theaters in the near future. While the cast and crew involved with the film have generally kept mum about the lawsuit (Zack Snyder declined to comment when asked about it back in November), star Malin Ackerman (Silk Spectre II) opened up to MTV News with some choice words about the film's legal troubles.

"You know, sh-- happens," Ackerman told MTV. "It is what it is. As long as the film gets released and people get to see the work that we've done, that we're so proud of, I think everyone will be happy."

"I'm not so sure the studios feel the same way," she added.

New 'Watchmen' Featurette Spotlights Silk Spectres Carla Gugino & Malin Akerman

Posted 11/6/08 10:21 am EST by in DC Comics, News


There's been no shortage of "Watchmen" clips and making-of featurettes hitting the 'Net over the last few months, and this time around, MySpace plays host to a behind-the-scenes "Watchmen" mini-documentary focusing on the female members of the superteam, mother/daughter crimefighters Silk Spectre I and II, played by Carla Gugino and Malin Ackerman, respectively. (For more on these characters' relationship, check out our exclusive "Watchmen" video interview with Ackerman and Gugino.)

Previously, Carla Gugino told MTV about improvising for the in-character "Watchmen" documentary "Under the Hood," while earlier featurettes gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at creating Dr. Manhattan and bringing the look and feel of "Watchmen" to life. And just in case you missed 'em, MTV spoke with "Watchmen" stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Comedian), Matthew Goode (Ozymandias), Patrick Wilson (Nite Owl), Jackie Earle Haley (Rorscach) and Billy Crudup (Dr. Manhattan) about their roles in the much-anticipated film.

What do you think about the hard-hitting ladies of "Watchmen"? And how about that fight scene in the prison, eh? Let us know your thoughts about the latest "Watchmen" featurette in the comment section!
