We now have word, via the Watchmen movie blog, that principle photography has finished on Zack Snyder's comic adaptation that's been "in the works for almost 20 years" (as Snyder notes, including the many aborted attempts by previous directors). What's remarkable about this, besides the fact that it seemed like this movie would never get made, is that the release date for the finished product is still over a year away! That's right, Watchmen is scheduled to make its theatrical debut on March 6th... 2009! I'm not film insider-savvy enough to know if 371 days of post-production is any kind of record, but it certainly seems like it should be! Here's hoping that every one of those 371 days is spent making the version that we see twelve and a half months from now just that much better than it was the day before! If that happens, I'll be a very happy middle-aged comic fanboy just before my 46th birthday!
If you follow the first link above, by the way, you'll get to see a new still from the movie, showing crazy-but-lovable Rorschach doing what he does best!
