MovieSet Dailies

On the 6th of every month the people running the official Watchmen movie website release another behind-the-scenes video showing us another slice of how they made the movie. For December we have the opportunity to look at some of the film’s more important props as well as “easter eggs”, fleetingly short scenes or even solitary items positioned in a scene that fans of the Watchmen graphic novel will ID.

If you’ve read Watchmen then you know that there is no shortage of places where the Watchmen filmmakers can embed these easter eggs. From the old newspaper headlines framed on the walls in The Comedian’s apartment to the fake magazine covers on the newsstand outside the Institute for Interspacial Studies, these tiny nods to the fans are scattered in abundance throughout Zack Snyder’s movie.

Another facet that’s covered in the latest video journal is the grappling gun of Rorschach, the masked vigilante who’s Watchmen’s equivalent to Batman. You get to see how Snyder pulled off Rorschach pulling himself the three or so dozen stories to Comedian’s broken apartment window.
