‘Watchmen’ Promises The Animated P33N
The big screen adaptation of Watchmen won’t hit theaters until March of 2009 but fans of the graphic novel are already chomping at the bit for any new info about the film leading up to its release next Spring. Defamer, ever the industrious sniffer-outer of the nekkidness, noted at the new HD trailer for Watchmen (which debuted at MTV.com last month) offers a quick glimpse of the Dr. Manhattan character — full frontal p33n and all. Fans of the Watchmen graphic novel are well aware that the atomic superhero Dr. Manhattan appears fully nude in the graphic novel … and they can rest assured that the good Doctor’s graphic nekkidness will be on full display when the movie hits theaters next year:
In the film, Dr. Manhattan is played by Billy Crudup but we have no way of knowing if the blue CGI p33n on display in the film is actually based on Billy’s manhood or if it is merely the work of inventive animators … I guess only a few people, ex-girlfriend Claire Danes included, will know for sure. After the jump, and without futher ado, check out the uncensored NSFW screencap of Dr. Manhattan in all his glory …
I added an image from the Watchmen graphic novel for comparison … and yep, looks like an animated penis to me. Altho the movie will only be providing a CGI penis in the film, I think it’s still a pretty big step to feature male full-frontal nudity at all. I’m pleased to know that the filmmakers want to keep the integrity of the original graphic novel intact for the movie version. One small step for p33n, is one giant step for mankind.

Dr. Manhattan is just a rip off of Captain Atom.

Christine,
Watchmen is a graphic novel from the 80s that’s been called the “Citizen Kane of comic books. It’s set in a 1985 where superheroes have been around since the ’30s, altering history (Nixon’s still president in ‘85, for example). One of the heroes is murdered, and his former colleagues (mostly retired or working for the government) start to think there’s a conspiracy afoot, perhaps linked to impending nuclear war with the USSR.
The comic twists the idea of our “standard” superheroes (Batman, Superman, Captain Atom) by showing them as complicated, flawed human beings. It’s really amazing; I’m hoping the movie adaptation does it justice.
The gal in the picture is going to throw up; that happens whenever Dr. Manhattan transports her anywhere. It makes sense when you read the book. ;)

Pretty pathetic that this movie has to stoop to this level. How about showing a vagina in a movie for once.

Oh shut up, Jeff. How many times have you seen a woman objectified in movies? And have seen seen numerous full frontal shots of females? With the ‘Watchman’ they are merely sticking to the graphic novel and Dr. Manhattan just so happened to be naked throughout.

Christ, how is it “a pretty big step to feature male full-frontal nudity at all” these days? “Eastern Promises”, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, “Sideways”, even “Mrs. Henderson Presents”, which was supposed to be a movie about FEMALE strippers … the list of male frontal nudity in films is freakin’ HUGE at this point. It hasn’t been a taboo in years. But full-frontal female nudity? That’s always been the real taboo. T&A is common, but below the belt female nudity in Hollywood is not anywhere near as common as actors showing penis. The real double standard is the lack of vagina in films. Boobs do not equal penis. Let’s get some A-List actresses out there to drop trou once in awhile. THAT would be “a pretty big step”.

Lest we not forget Eurotrip. There was like 50 wangs in one scene of that movie. It was like the front window of a butcher shop. It was like the director showed up the day wang wagling actors said they’d work for free and hired everybody. I mean EVERYBODY. What I’m saying is that scene has a lot of dick.
