It was just about a year ago when the Watchmen movie machine really kicked into high gear, thanks to this all-new San Diego Comic-Con Watchmen poster by Dave Gibbons. Frothing fanboys immediately followed. Myself included.

This year I’m actually attending Comic-Con and I’m sure there’ll be something even bigger Watchmen-related. Maybe some scenes, a trailer, a new poster, who knows. I can’t wait and while I rarely go to panel events, I will most definitely go to any Watchmen-related ones.

Over on the official Watchmen Movie Blog, director Zack Synder’s put up a new video blog post that’s basically artist Dave Gibbons (that’s him on the right) talking about his experience on the movie set, and in particular, his appreciation for the immense attention to detail. Hollis Mason’s “Under the Hood” book casually placed on a desk. The grumpy old man at the newsstand and his young comic-reading friend. The Gunga Diner. It’s all there, including a short scene of Rorschach just walking past it.

I know there’s a really small chance this one can live up to the hype and the just awesomeness of the original comic, but everything I’ve seen so far just gets me more and more pumped for this film.

Hurm.
