Casting Watchmen: Matthew Goode, Patrick Wilson, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup and Jackie Earle Haley
Later this week at the San Diego Comic-Con, Zack Snyder is expected to reveal the cast for his upcoming big screen adaptation of the classic Alan Moore graphic novel Watchmen. But as we near our Wednesday afternoon flight to San Diego, actors names have started to leak onto the interwebs.
- IESB reports that Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias will be played by Matthew Goode (The Lookout, Match Point). Previous internet speculation had Jude Law attached to the role.
- Patrick Wilson (Little Children) as The Night Owl.
- LatinoReview reports that Malin Akerman (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, The Invasion, The Heartbreak Kid) has been cast as Sally Jupiter aka The Silk Spectre.
- Billy Crudup (Almost Famous) is supposedly attached to play Dr. Manhattan.
- Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children) has been confirmed by LatinoReview as Walter Kovacs aka Rorschach
Watchmen is considered the Citizen Kane of comic books. Many of the sucessful (and some unsucessful) comic book series have borred elements and ideas from the book. Because of that, I’m worried that much of the material might now seem cliche. It will be interesting to see if they can sucessfully adapt it to the big screen. Last month we published a rumored cast list which you can read at this link. I’m sure we’ll find out many more names at the Warner Bros panel on Friday morning.

Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place Video and Lyrics
Jigsaw Falling Into Place by Radiohead, Music Video, Lyrics and Review
“Jigsaw Falling into Place” is the penultimate track on their 2007 album In Rainbows.
The song will be released as the first single from In Rainbows on January 14, 2008, following the album’s “standard” physical release on December 31, 2007.
The song was previously known as “Open Pick,” a title it was given provisionally when it was performed during Radiohead’s 2006 tour.
It’s a cool idea for a music video, pretty neat, and the song is great, I think is the best on the album, enjoy !
The music video features all five members of the band playing the song and features each as viewed by five webcams mounted on bicycle helmets. It appeared on Gonzo on 1st December 2007.
Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place Lyrics
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As the magic disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you’ve had too much
Come back and focus again
The walls abandon shape
You’ve got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you’re comatose
Before you run away from me
Before you’re lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
What’s the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgun
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Before you run away from me
Before you’re lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance
Jigsaws falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You’ve got a light you can feel it on your back
You’ve got a light you can feel it on your back
Jigsaws falling into place
