Fancast: The Big Picture

Decades in the making, Alan Moore's genre-changing work Watchmen is finally getting its big-screen adaptation, and director Zack Snyder has sworn to be as true to the graphic novel as he possibly can in an effort to be the one film version of Moore's work to which Moore himself might consider allowing his name to be attached. So far, the only images released from the film have been set pieces and one frame of the hardcore vigilante Rorschach in action. Now, finally, we see the principal characters in their full glory at the official site maintained by Snyder himself.

Check out more after the jump. By the looks of these images, they may be on the right track. The verdict will be rendered on March 6, 2009. One year from now.
