Although, no set cast and a 2006 release, the official site has already gone live!

Variety says that the town is definitely watching "The Watchmen." Speculation has been raging this week that new Paramount chief Brad Grey was pulling the plug on the action-adventure and putting it into turnaround. But producer Larry Gordon and studio spokeswoman Nancy Kirkpatrick have insisted Par plans to go ahead with Brit director Paul Greengrass ("The Bourne Supremacy") helming. "The Watchmen," based on the DC Comics series of the same name, is set in the 1950s, centers on a seemingly ordinary man putting on superhero garb to track down criminals and joined by those similarly inclined.

I'm not sure, but I think I remember reading a comic about a scientist who created a pill that gave him super strength for an Hour and he called himself Hourman. Is that part of what the Watchmen are?

Has any one seen the movie yet? I've been hearing great things from my buddies. The marketing company I work for is doing a promotion for the "WATCHMEN: Tales of the Black Freighter" DVD and I'm pumped. Im going to pick it up Tuesday along with "Quantum of Solace." Anyone else excited?

I saw the movie. It was really good. One of the few movies that stuck to the original comic book. a must see
