Watchmen cast sounds OK, mainly

[catalyst2]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the six main characters have been cast. Here are my totally superficial responses (because I don't really know any of these actors, except for the very last one):


Rorschach - Jackie Earle Haley - definitely looks as menacing and rough as Rorschach needs to look
Dr. Manhattan – Billy Crudup - looks to have that remote presence
Laurie Juspeczyki/the Silk Spectre – Malin Akerman - YES!
Adrien Veidt/Ozymandias – Matthew Goode - has the "clean" lines needed
Nite-Owl – Patrick Wilson - No, looks like a bad miss to me
The Comedian – Jeffrey Dean Morgan - INSPIRED!

So, it's not perfect but at least they kept bloody Tom Cruise et al. away from this.
