Watchmen
Since Zack Snyder helped achieve success with 300 with a man that can even make other men aroused, Gerard Butler, it comes as no surprise that he is doing all he can to assure Butler appears on set of Watchmen.
Snyder on Watchmen
The good people over at MTV have caught up with once-rookie-director Zack Snyder to discuss Watchmen and Gerard Butler.
A few weeks back, we broke the bad news from Gerard Butler on the MTV Movies Blog that his post-"300" schedule was looking too tight to squeeze in an appearance in "The Watchmen." But this week, director Zack Snyder assured us that he'll get his Spartan leading man into the highly anticipated comic book flick somehow.
"Yeah, we'll find a spot for him," Snyder told us on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards (see "MTV Movie Awards Get Dirty: Baron Cohen, Ferrell Mash; Rihanna Sizzles; Silverman Says 'Bleep!' " and "Jessica Biel, Jay-Z, More Go Casual-Chic On Anything-Goes Movie Awards Red Carpet"). "They'll let him [off the other sets for a while]; he's not gonna get out that easy."
Snyder is finishing up the final shooting script, with the opening sequence getting some added attention.
"At the beginning of the movie there's a character called the Comedian," Snyder said of the ill-fated former hero whose murder begins the story. "He gets in a fight with a guy that we don't know who it is, and [the Comedian] gets thrown out a window. That's what I'm working on right now, and it's pretty intense."
