Hahaha.
It sort of reminds me of how they hulkified Hyde for the League of Extraordinary Gentleman movie. Which I actually saw twice for the train wreck factor. I'm kind of scared to see how they'll ruin Watchmen... I mean, they've already turned Nite Owl into a beefy 32 year old, and Ozymandias looks like he's 22 and fresh out of a liberal arts program at Vassar.
Not even that! Superhero movies. If it had spandex and trite, wanky taglines, they lapped it up and got tattoos of the lead characters. In all seriousness.
Norton has his moments, but the world was hardly crying out in a needy fashion for Ang Lee's (original) take on the property. Having another stab with a lesser director seems like throwing the desperation towel into the ring.

Much as I appreciate their attention to detail in getting the graffiti on the walls right, the casting is what will make or break the adaptation.
And, as far as I know, Moore is still refusing to be officially associated with it.

I used to know a few people who'd be very excited about this. Needless to say, I've distanced myself from them.

It seems to me that they've picked the wrong year to release this one - the potential blockbuster quota is pretty much filled...

In the end, I had to settle for a "Caretaker" action figure with articulated toecaps and a gun that fires flaming cotton buds:
