Watchmen Takes To The StreetsBy Rafe Telsch: 2007-11-26 18:51:41
If anyone had any doubts about Zach Snyder’s ability to recreate the world of Watchmen the way he did 300, they should be cast off by the latest update to the Watchmen production blog. Snyder has updated with some information about the production’s recent move to a backlot set, painstakingly recreating the New York City streets of the movie.
The update is quite informational, including some impressive figures for the amount of glass, plexiglass, foam brick, and nails used to build the city streets. Staying true to the wide time period of the movie, Snyder states the sets had to be fitted to play for 1938, 1945, 1953, 1957, 1964, 1974, 1975, 1977, and 1985. That’s quite a bit of versatility. Still, that’s not the coolest part of the blog update. The ultimate frosting on the cake are some high definition photos of the set, one of which captures the vigilante Rorschach in motion, strutting through his native environment. Watchmen fans will find just as much delight in a cool shot of the notorious newsstand that plays a big part in the movie (including a poster for an upcoming issue of Tales of the Black Freighter on the side), the neon covered Gunga Diner, and Rorshach moving past a re-election poster for Nixon. Awesome. Check out smaller versions of the images below or check out Snyder’s “Backlot” update at the Watchmen production blog.
