We Live in Time (February 7) Credit – A24

We Live in Time is a romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Crowley from a screenplay by Nick Payne. The 2024 film follows the relationship of a young couple over the course of a decade as they go through the ups and downs of life together while learning and growing with each other.

The original Watchmen graphic novel was first published monthly through 1986 and 1987, before being compiled into a single volume in 1987. The comic was written by famed author Alan Moore, illustrated by artist Dave Gibbons and published by DC Comics. In the years since, Watchmen has had three major adaptations – a theatrical live action film directed by Zack Snyder in 2009, an HBO miniseries set in the universe of the comic in 2019, and most recently, an animated two-part film released this year.

This newest adaptation was directed by Brandon Vietti and produced by Warner Brothers. It’s not the first adaptation and is almost certainly not going to be the last, but it is the first that feels like the graphic novel given motion and is the most accurate adaptation of the original work to date.

Watchmen Chapter 1 Might Have this Summer's Most Underrated Cast - Main Image

It's a shame that a lot of Watchmen fans seemingly aren't giving the upcoming animated DC flick a chance, especially considering how underrated the voice cast of Watchmen: Chapter 1 is.

Without further ado, check out the stellar cast and meet the voices behind the animated outlaw vigilantes that brought them to life!

Rorschach aka Walter Kovacs

Set in 1985, outlaw superhero Rorschach was the first of the bunch to discover the death of one of their former members and began his investigation as to who could be conspiring behind their deaths.

Rorschach aka Walter Kovacs is voiced by Titus Welliver, who previously lent his voice to both Marvel and DC: Agent Felix Blake in Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carmine Falcone in Batman: The Long Halloween Parts One and Two.

Plenty of big news came out of this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, including the first clip for Watchmen Chapter I, Warner Bros. Animation's R-Rated adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic graphic novel.

That divisive CG animation style is on full display as Dr. Manhattan is welcomed to The Benny Anger Show. He's confronted by several angry audience members who demand the all-powerful superhero answer for the supposed role he may have played in the people he's crossed paths with over the years being diagnosed with cancer.

As all of this is happening, we see Nite Owl and Silk Spectre - in their civilian guises - fending off an attack from criminals. Everything we see looks like the graphic novel and, unsurprisingly, Zack Snyder's 2009 Watchmen movie (which itself was a near shot-for-shot remake of the source material).

With that in mind, we can't help but wonder what...

Rorschach is back on the case.

Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”), Katee Sackhoff (“The Mandalorian”), Titus Welliver (“Lost”), Michael Cerveris (“The Gilded Age”) and Troy Baker (“The Last of Us”) are among the voice actors cast in “Watchmen Chapter I,” the new animated feature adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal graphic novel. The two-part film — directed by Warner Bros. Animation veteran Brandon Vietti and adapted by comic J. Michael Straczynski — was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2023, but no details about the cast and filmmakers had been revealed until Wednesday, when the official trailer for the project first premiered.

Set in an alternative world in which costume vigilantes are real, “Watchmen” has been hailed as a masterpiece since it debuted in 1986 and challenged the nature and morality of superhero storytelling. Rhys will voice Dan Dreiberg (aka Nite Owl), Sackhoff will voice Laurie Juspeczyk (aka Silk Spectre), Welliver will...

The first trailer for Watchmen Chapter I has been released, and with that comes the full voice cast for Warner Bros. Animation's R-Rated adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic graphic novel.

It's also been confirmed today, courtesy of IGN (who have also shared cover art for the He release), that the movie will debut on Digital on August 13, with a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release following on August 27.

As with Zack Snyder's 2009 movie, it looks like the comic has come to life, begging the question of what this latest version will deliver that its live-action predecessor didn't. The Man of Steel helmer did take some liberties with the source material, though, so perhaps this version will be even more faithful.

Based on DC’s acclaimed graphic novel, Watchmen: Chapter I is the first film in a two part animated adaptation from Warner Bros. Animation and Paramount, and IGN lets us know this afternoon that it’s headed to Digital on August 13 and physical media August 27.

IGN previews, “The animated feature is a faithful adaptation of the groundbreaking graphic novel series by writer Alan Moore and illustrator Dave Gibbons, which redefined the superhero genre when it debuted in the mid-1980s.”

Here’s the official synopsis for the film from director Brandon Vietti…

“In an alternate world history set in 1985, the murder of a government-sponsored superhero draws his outlawed colleagues out of retirement and into a mystery that threatens to upend their personal lives and the world itself.”

The voice cast includes Matthew Rhys, Katee Sackhoff, Titus Welliver, Troy Baker, Adrienne Barbeau, Corey Burton (Captain Metropolis), Michael Cerveris, Jeffrey Combs, Grey DeLisle,...

When you think we have enough adaptations of Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins’s Watchmen, Warner Bros. Entertainment whispers, ‘No. The first part of an animated adaptation of the trio’s legendary story arrives on August 13, and today, we’ve got a Watchmen: Chapter 1 trailer to give fans a taste of the adventure to come. Warner Bros. teased Watchmen: Chapter 1 last summer at San Diego Comic-Con for a limited audience. Today, everyone gets to enjoy the preview for the first part of this anticipated two-part event film. According to Warner Bros., Watchmen: Chapter 1 marks “a leap forward for our DC Cinematic Animation.”

“Watchmen is set in an alternate reality that closely mirrors the contemporary world of the 1980s. The primary difference is the presence of superheroes. The point of divergence occurs in the year 1938. Their existence in this version of the United States is shown to have dramatically...

I’ve got an entertaining fan-made short film here for you to watch today that reimagines the Super Mario Bros. and dark comedic parody of The Sopranos. It’s a very dark take on Mario and Luigi as it imagines the classic HBO series being set in the Mushroom Kingdom instead of New Jersey.

It’s an incredibly well-executed short and the impressions of the actors from The Sopranos like James Gandolfini and Michael Imperioli. The performances from Max Koch and Andy Dispensa help sell this short. This is the brief description of the short that was released:

Two Italians conduct day to day activities in their normal lives as Mobsters; it's all fun until someone slips up.

Super Soprano Bros. was written and directed by Ryan Constantino. I hope you enjoy it, but before you watch it, I also should warn you that the series is filled with vulgar Sopranos-style language.

We’re back with the latest installment of our Indie Spotlight. Today’s feature includes Danny Trejo as a Bad Ass, an animated zombie webseries, and much more:

Bad Ass Theater/VOD Release Details: Danny Trejo, Charles S. Dutton and Ron Perlman star in Bad Ass, which is coming to theaters and VOD on April 13th:

Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart. It’s not until forty years later when an incident on a commuter bus (where he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skin heads) makes him a local hero where he’s suddenly celebrated once again. But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren’t doing anything about it.
