In this thread, I'll post some script excerts of Sam Hamm's "Watchmen".
Here are some gems from Sam Hamm's script.
SWAT COP II: Captain... what the hell is that?
All eyes turn upward. In the distance, a TINY SPECK descends from the clouds and drops, in a perfectly vertical line, toward the head of the statue. The SWAT CAPTAIN hoists a pair of binoculars:
SWAT CAPTAIN: Shit. Shit fire!!
SWAT COP: Sir! What is it?
7. POV SHOT - THROUGH BINOCULARS
A magnified view of the SPECK, which turns out to be a futuristic, blimplike HOVERCRAFT -- the OWLSHIP.
SWAT CAPTAIN (O.S.): Christ almighty, it's the goddamned Watchmen!

(turning to face them) In a minute I'll do it again. And if my aim is true, I'll put a bullet through Jon Osterman's heart... and Dr. Manhattan will never be born. |

Anonymous 09/08/11(Thu)20:57 No.29494553That's pretty meta. I'd like to see a mainstream superhero film end like that. Maybe with a screenplay written by Grant Morrison - He likes that kind of mindfuckery. |

Anonymous 09/08/11(Thu)21:00 No.29494607 File1315530000.jpg-(55 KB, 500x350, alan-moore.jpg) ![]() >I spoke to Sam Ham—he comes from Virginia, he’s one of the Virginia Hams—and he’s written the Batman screenplay which I’m sure you might criticise here and there but I would say that from a comic fan’s point of view you couldn’t ask for a better one. We’ve both read it and we’re both satisfied. Anyway, Sam came up to see me because he’s been asked to do the Watchmen screenplay. He said he wanted to do it. His reasoning was that he didn’t want to do Watchmen because it wouldn’t matter much whether he wrote it or not, since it’ll be rewritten at various points, the director will change bits, the cast will change bits so that any lines that eventually appear on the screen that are in any way similar to my script will be pure coincidence. In other words: if someone’s gonna fuck up Watchmen, he’d rather it wasn’t him. Still, his reason for doing Watchmen was that if someone’s gonna fuck it up he’d rather it was someone who cared about it. He said, “I realise I’m defeated before I start so I’ve got to take a Samurai attitude to it: that I’m already dead, so I’ll discharge myself with honour.” I couldn’t ask for a better attitude. |
