Just when we thought we were going to get a sensory overload thanks to Tony, Bruce, Hulk, and Indy, here comes Watchmen to kick our eyeballs again. Like JJ Abrams’ Star Trek, director Zack Snyder is actually building massive sets instead of depending entirely on 3D graphics and green screens.

And I can’t be more grateful for that decision. I don’t know about you, but the idea of having these strange (anti)heroes walking around a “real” 1985’s New York, Ozymandias’s massive Karnak, Mason’s garage, Dr. Manhattan’s nuclear lab, the Comedian’s tacky bachelor’s pad, and Rorschach’s jail—all full of the retro gadgets, technology and the dirt of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ comicbook masterpiece— has me excited.
If the movie is as good as his take on Frank Miller’s 300, Snyder’s Watchmen is going to be one for the books. [Watchmen via Superherohype]
