Apparently The Accents Are Terrible TooIs "Sherlock Holmes" going to be Zack Snyder's version of the famous detective only done by a Brit (Guy Ritchie) who will likely be tied and feathered by the entire U.K. for American-izing Sherlock and Watson by infusing it slo-mo action and Laurel and Hardy-esque wacky buffoonery?

Thanks, 'Watchmen': Warner Bros. To Steer Clear of R-Rated Superheroes
In reality, this move is not terribly shocking. IESB says that Warner Bros. has decided it is in the company's best interests to only make superhero movies that are rated PG and PG-13. The R-rated experiment with Watchmen , while clearly the way to go with that source material, hasn't and won't return enough on the investment to make it worth limiting its potential audience.

Sneak Peek at the long awaited ‘Watchmen’ film
Only a select few members of the press were allowed to preview this masterpiece with director Zack Snyder on Wednesday. The film is based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ award-winning graphic novel of the same name about a group of subversive superheroes in hiding. The film was originally going to be set in modern times, but Snyder persuaded them to set the film in its proper era of 1985, which is when the graphic novel which the film is based on was set in. There were 3 scenes viewed in all and Sny

Zack Snyder's 'Sucker Punch': Emily Browning takes over lead role

Is Warner Brothers Really Giving Zack Snyder Another $100 Million?
We have to wonder if Warner Brothers is having a bit of buyers remorse on Sucker Punch , the next film from “visionary director” Zack Snyder. Even before Watchmen was released, it seemed like a dicey proposition for the studio to get behind: an R-rated, $100 million, 1950s-set action film that Mr. Snyder has described as “ Alice in Wonderland with machine guns.” Alrighty, then! About the only thing Sucker Punch had going for it was the cast, a group of up-and-coming actresses...

Entertainment Weekly reports that Emily Browning will take on the role of Baby Doll in Snyder's upcoming Sucker Punch.

Zach Snyder wants Watchmen to be Great
I saw about 20 minutes of footage from the “unfilmable” film on Wednesday and I’m very happy to report that Zack Snyder has a found a way to make “Watchmen” truly watchable. The most pressing question in all of the fanboy universe right now is whether Snyder’s adaptation of the landmark 1986 comics epic “Watchmen” will deliver a classic finally realized or a merely bad idea pursued too long. Alan Moore, who wrote the original graphic novel, has been steadfast
