The Cult of Lincoln

Saturday, March 29, 2008



Now that I'm most of the way though Watchmen, I went back and to look at the costume photos posted earlier this month.

HOLYCOWYES.

Well, except for Ozymandias. And Sally looks more like a grown-up version of the daughter in The Incredibles than her comics counterpart, but eh. I didn't like her costume in the comics, either. And anyway, the Comedian's HOLYCOWYESsitude more than compensates. Rorschach looks spot-on, and I can't wait to see the shifting mask effect in action.

Now I'm just hoping they can do justice to the layers of narrative complexity in a movie.

Edit: Hey, John Cassaday helped design the costumes? Props to him! As if I needed more reasons to be reduced to a brainless, fawning fangirl in his presence when I see him again at NY Comic Con...

oh yeah. i knew when he was working on some of those costumes and saw the prints. sweeeeeeeeet. quite a few other artist friends worked on it too. i think the director wanted many different ideas/looks/styles to choose from.
