SNYDER AND GUGINO TALK ‘WATCHMEN’ MOVIE | | Director updates shoot status while one of the actors lets a few details slip | | | By Rickey Purdin | | Posted Jan. 31, 2008 | |  | | After months of staying off the radar thanks to a heavy workload adapting Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s Watchmen comic book series for the big screen, director Zack Snyder has finally made a blip again.
Over at MTV.com, Snyder blogs about his love for the music of Richard Cheese (who appeared on the soundtrack to Snyder’s “Dawn of the Dead” remake), but also filled readers in on the fact that filming for Watchmen is nearing an end.
“At the moment, I'm in the final weeks of shooting ‘Watchmen,’ in Vancouver, British Columbia,” Snyder wrote on the site. “Since ‘Watchmen’ is a dissection of the superhero genre and forces it to take a long, hard look into the pop-culture mirror, it only makes sense that it's where my head is at these days.”

MTV.com, one of the “Watchmen” actresses, Carla Gugino (“Sin City”), dropped some info on her role in the film as Sally Jupiter, the original Silk Spectre in the film’s superhero universe.
“It was really one of the craziest, most fun roles I’ve ever gotten to play,” Gugino told the site while attending the SAG Awards on Sunday. “I start at 25 years old in the 1940s, and I age to 67 years old with full prosthetics in the 1980s. [Sally] is a larger-than-life character. She’s a costumed crime fighter, but her idea of a costume is very Bettie Page-meets-[Alberto] Vargas.”
The site has more from Gugino on the film including details about the opening credits (“It incorporates real history and the fictitious world of Watchmen, and so it’s very cool”) as well as info on some of the scenes you can expect to see when the film hit March 6, 2009.
