DOUG HUTCHISON IS RORSCHACH!

Fresh word from the Doug camp in Hollywoodland today, Nov. 27, is that Our Man remains committed to snagging the Rorschach role, and is currently working his craft in order to develop a wholly convincing realisation of the character from the page to real life, in readiness for those all important casting sessions and the official announcement of auditions.

After continued hunting, searching, networking, and ‘doing their thing’ by Doug’s people, it’s apparent that the studio has yet to give the final, ultimate seal of approval to the script recently turned in by Snyder & Co. but that, all being well, WATCHMEN should be heading before the cameras late spring/summer 2007.

It’s expected that the casting call will go out come the New Year in preparation for this schedule. I’m reliably informed that the Doug Is Rorschach campaign has already raised some eyebrows in certain quarters, and that if a sustained level of positive feedback here at the boards akin to that already seen can be generated at the right time, then the casting department can be expected to “…hunt him down to audition and read for the role.”

Watch(men) this space for further updates as I get ‘em, and expect some additional input come the advent of MMVII, including insights into Making Rorschach A Reality from The H Man hisself!

In the meantime, sincere continued thanks for your interest and support, both past, present, and future (or simultaneous, in the case of Dr. Manhattan!)

HURM. NEVER COMPROMISE.

In light of the massive internet buzz this past week on account of Zack Snyder setting out his plans for his WATCHMEN movie, I thought it was about time that I gave this thread a well needed shot in the arm.

C'mon, we are after all talkin' about potentially one of the biggest comic book movies EVER; certainly the most eagerly anticipated!

For those who missed it (shame on you!), catch what’s probably the best coverage of what Mr Snyder had to say for himself over at IESB.net:

http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com...mp;Itemid=2 8

...where you'll see that he's now seriously turning his attention to his casting choices. Legions of fans worldwide wait with baited breath for the official announcements, but if YOU want to do your bit, then NOW really is the time to add your voice.

I still maintain that actor Doug Hutchison remains THE best choice to portray what will be the crucial, pivotal role of Kovacs... Rorschach himself. Many, many others feel the same way and have already shown their support by contributing to numerous fan boards across teh interweb... but there really can't be such a thing as too much support and I urge you to show yours!

I can assure you that Doug still very much wants this part, and it remains my firm belief that he will do the role proud by delivering a truly powerhouse performance of the type that we would all want to see for Rorschach on screen; simply put, nothing less will do, period.

What you're seeing at this board is part of a concerted campaign to snag Doug this part by bringing him to the attention of the movie makers along with a swell of online support behind him, so he gets the opportunity to ply his craft at an audition and have a shot at the title. His people in sunny LA are taking care of the studio contacts and casting director side of the operation at the heart of Hollywoodland; I'm covering the WWW from my lil' overworked PC!

Feel the same way? Wanna be part of something where the fans might at long last get a say? Hit 'Reply' and go for it...

DOUG HUTCHISON IS RORSCHACH.

People must be told.

Hurm. My continued sincere thanks for your time and support.

Well, first I saw Hot Fuzz tonight. I gotta say, Simon Pegg is looking like some tough competition for Doug. Either would be great. I wish them both the best of luck. And more luck to the director, he'll need it. For crap sake's he's trying to make Watchmen into a film. (I'm hoping for at least a series of films.)

Also, I checked Doug's IMDB page and totally spoiled his surprise role (and totally spoileriffic character name!) in tomorrow night's ep of a certain Watchmen inspired ABC show. CRAP!
