"Watchmen" cast announced
The movie version of the beloved 1980s graphic novel about superheroes in a hostile world is back on again. Zack Snyder of "300" will direct -- to which I channel Scooby-Doo to say "Ruh-roh" -- and the cast will include Patrick Wilson as the Nite-Owl, Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach (both actors worked together in "Little Children"), Matthew Goode as Ozymandias, and Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan. Shooting will begin this fall in Manhattan. An earlier incarnation, to be directed by Paul Greengrass ("United 93," "The Bourne Supremacy") folded in 2003. The Hollywood Reporter has further details.
