Paul Greengrass has continued his interview for "Watchmen" this week with the second part up at CHUD. Today he talks a lot about the character of Dr. Manhattan, how he will represent a 100 ft tall naked blue man on screen, and squeezing such a complex comic series into a two-hour film:
"I don't think you can fully reflect every single last detail, you're right about that. But a film works in a different way, I think, to the plates of a graphic novel. In its way I think you can suggest depth of a different kind. I absolutely do want, intend and believe that we will bring to screen a Watchmen world that has depth and allusiveness. That it has that kind of richness and texture of the graphic novel...
[What's[ really important is that when you sit inside that world our ensemble of caped crusaders, that you understand that these are human characters, flawed characters. That they're not superheroes - or that only one of them technically really is, Manhattan. It's that concept that you have a human drama that involves this cast of characters and that you understand where they've come from. That this is not just some casual thing that they do, they do it because they're compelled"
