- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Tests of Dr. Manhattan?

There was a sentence at the end of the Production section about tests done of Dr. Manhattan. I reviewed the citation, which didn't give any more detail than that, so it seems rather vague for inclusion, or to surmise what the director could be referring to. I've removed it so hopefully the matter is clarified (and more detailed) in a future citation. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 14:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rock Opera

It's odd and its offhand, but in an interview Darren Aronofsky mentioned that David Bowie had told him he was developing a Watchmen rock opera[1]. Is there any way/cause for this to be mentioned? --InShaneee 08:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

It sits perfectly in the Watchmen article, and this is about the film. WikiNew 13:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Late 2008

Which citation indicates that the film will come out in late 2008? I only see mention of the release date in the lead paragraph, but nowhere in the article. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 17:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

A rather easy assumption considering Snyder will wrap filming this year. WikiNew 17:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

A stupid assumption. It assumes that it'll be completed with a minimum of post-production. Anyway, various interviews have said 2009--Isocyanide 05:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Care to provide links to these interviews? And don't be insulting by calling it "stupid". —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 12:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] alex tse script

The article might be a bit misleading. It says the Alex Tse script threw out the contemporary setting and restored the 1986setting. As I recall, Alex Tse's script was modern, complete with islamic terrorists. Snyder has said that he wants watchmen in it's original time period, but I don't think Tse's scripts have had anything to do with that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.238.216.161 (talk) 03:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

According to this, Tse's initial script was contemporary like Hayter's script. It's highly likely that it has been revised since to establish the 1980s setting. I'll see if I can re-word it to make the revision more obvious. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 04:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
