Carla Gugino Joins Watchmen She'll play Sally Jupiter
The cast of Zach Snyder's Watchmen is continuing to swell, with the latest addition of Carla Gugino. Gugino will play Sally Jupiter, first Silk Spectre and mother to superhero of the same name, played by Malin Akerman. If you haven't read the book, you're probably confused right about now, but sit down, maybe have a cup of tea, while we try to clear things up. If you're already clued up, maybe take yourself outside for a while and enjoy the sun.
The titular Watchmen were preceded by a group called The Minutemen, one of whom was Jupiter, a burlesque dancer, who took the hero name Silk Spectre. When she reaches an age where tights are better suited to holding in your varicose veins than keeping you unrestrained for crime-fighting, she retires and her moniker is later taken by her daughter. Gugino will play the role through various time periods, ageing as necessary.
The cast for the movie, which is due for release in March 2009, already includes Billy Crudup (Dr. Manhattan), Matthew Goode (Ozymandias), Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Comedian), Patrick Wilson (Nite Owl).
Rockthing isn't basing his opinion on the video. He says he met the guy in person and found him to be a massive wanker. In fact, he shouldn't have mentioned the video at all - it detracts from his argument. Though i've never had the pleasure of Mr. Wright's company and so have no opinion either way, i did once meet Maureen Lipman and she was a total fucking bitch. ... Read More

...my question to you is; why is Edgar Wright such a prick? I had the displeasure of meeting once at the LFF 05 and he was exactly like this! A nasty piece of work with no time for anyone.
