I guess this is as good a time and place to talk about this, but who do you all here in your head when you read the book, (assuming you hear an actors voice)?

Rorschach - Kevin Bacon
Dan - Richard Dreyfus
Laurie - No actress in particular
Veidt - Guy Pearce
The Comedian - Clancy Brown
Jon - Billy Zane

Sally - Phylis Diller
Hollis - Jack Lemmon
Malcolm Long - Paul Winfield

I just make up my own voices, but the closest thing is that I picture Manhattan with a similar voice to Martian Manhunter's from the Justice League animated series.

this. i always make up my own voices, but yeah manhattan reminded me of the martian manhunter. funny enough they even have the same name (j'onn/jon)

Rorshcach: Jackie Earle Haley
Comedian: Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Nit Owl: Patrick Wilson
Silk Spectre II: Maln Akerman
Silk Spectre I: Carla Gugino
Veidt: Matthew Goode
Dr. Manhattan: Billy Cruddup
Hollis Mason: Stephen McHattie

Are these choices too obvious?

Jackie Earle Haley? Really?

I guess I do sort of create my own voices too. My list of actors would be who I think most closely resembles what I hear in my head.

I could be incorrect, but was this promotional image supposed to be a reference to the Doug Roth interview at Karnak in the GN? It's a shame that Goode didn't wear this in any actual movie scene outside of the pre-release promotional materials, because it looks quite good...

aside from the tales of the black freighter, is there any more actual footage that wasnt in the DC thats in the ultimate cut?

If there is then it hasn't been released.

Oh wait, I get what you're saying. Yeah, there are the news stand scenes. And then that's it.

ohhh ok thats. I might just invest in it for the special features then because i already have the tales of the black freighter. But who knows it might be different as one whole experience.

it's kinda like you're watching the comic in a film format. oh wait..

Buy the UC, then watch the WCM Cut instead (when it's out). Honestly, just the addition of the Bernie's to the DC without the Black Freighter makes it the best version of the film.

lol

Bumped into a fellow extra of mine on the set of Psych and he told me about a scene from the movie he was part of shooting but never made the final cut.

He's a fan of the novel and the film and thus has a good memories of his time on the movie. He was part of the boiling fat scene and the prison riot but wasn't featured so don't waste your time looking for him. But he did say that while on hand for those scenes they shot (and this wasn't connected to those scenes) interviews with the prisoners, asking them about masked vigilantes, etc.

Now this could have been for Under The Hood, it might even be on the doc as my memory of it is not 100%. I remember they talked to Big Figure.

Anyway, my buddy was asked the question and replied along the lines of: "The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan? What a joke!" Which has something of a deeper meaning when you think about it.

So barring my memory of Under The Hood, we can put these interviews on the list with the Comedian planting the flag, the Vietnam 51st State Reporter scene and the rest as sequences that were shot but not in the movie.

I wonder how long we'll wait for yet another DVD release as we've still yet to get one that has the trailers and TV spots included. It's coming, but when...
