Via AICN comes a casting rumor on from CHUD.com on Zak Snyder’s “The Watchmen,” which starts filming this fall. Looks like it’s very likely that BLUE MAG favorite Jackie Earle Haley will be cast as Rorshach, which if it is true is likely the casting choice of the decade, IMHO. I can’t believe they were talking to Keanue for Dr. Manhattan, and that nobody has mentioned Billy Zane for that role except me, as far as I can tell. I did it on the old incarnation of BLUE MAG so it’s pretty much lost. Still, I think it was a great call on my part. Moriarty from AICN wants Jason Patric in that role, and while I totally agree with his point about Patric’s disconnected aura being a great touch for that part, I still don’t see it. I think Dr. Manhattan has to be larger than life, doesn’t he?
