Editor’s Note: For the 3 or 4 of you who have not seen or read Watchmen, this article contains spoilers. Will there actually ever be…

When Watchmen came out just two months ago, wasn’t everyone walking out the theater wishing that it was even fucking longer than it was? Didn’t think so.

We tow the line between spoiling everything (we don’t spoil anything) and educating (just some slight preparation) in order to give a decent look at what to expect from a film based on a book that you might not have read yet.

In 1986, “Watchmen” was published as a limited series comic book. Twenty-three years later, it’s finally being released as a film. Here’s a look at what it took to get here.

Which we suppose is better than wanting to donkey punch a Scientologist.

Earlier in the week, some lucky fans got the chance to attend a test screening of Watchmen in Portland, and spilled the beans about how the movie is so far.

The original co-creator and the man at the helm of the film adaptation gave us a look at the philosophy that went into creating a movie that everyone said couldn’t be made.

After seeing the extended footage earlier, and hearing the way these actors approached this film – like a passion project that happened to be backed by millions of dollars -Cole Abaius is even more sold on how fantastic Watchmen is going to be.

Comic-Con attendees knew that the Watchmen panel in Hall H was going to be the main event of the Con — what they didn’t know is that the footage shown would stun them to silence.
