Snyder says Butler will have a part in Watchmen
There's an interview with Zack Snyder over at Reelz Channel but for some reason I can't access it. However, Cinema Blend are here to the rescue and they kindly give us the main tidbits from the interview... There IS a part for Gerard Butler in Watchmen, but he wouldn't go into details. The movie will get an R-Rating, which 300 has shown is absolutely no hindrance what-so-ever. Snyder wants the movie to be long. Epic long. It sounds like he doesn't want to leave anything out from the comic, except maybe the Black Freighter strip stuff as the script is 150 pages long without it! Best news is the movie will be set in 1985, just like the comic book intended. Good news all around then and finally it would seem that this movie is going to get made! source - cinema blend, reelz channel
