Rorschach from The Mindscape of Alan Moore. <\/em><\/p>\n

The hype over the Watchmen<\/em> film reached critical mass this week and as a consequence there’s been a spike of interest in the two Alan Moore interviews I posted in 2006, with Empire<\/em> magazine and other movie sites linking here. I won’t bore you with my lack of interest in the film\u2014read the book, it’s a masterpiece\u2014but it’s worth noting that the feature-length DeZ Vylenz documentary, The Mindscape of Alan Moore<\/em><\/a>, dramatised scenes from V for Vendetta<\/em> and Watchmen<\/em> back in 2003, long before Hollywood put either of them on screen. The Rorschach scene is especially interesting for having the opening monologue from Watchmen<\/em> voiced by Alan himself. I’d never thought of Rorschach having such a gravel-throated delivery until I heard this. If Zack Snyder’s version is the same then you know where they swiped it from.<\/p>\n

As I’ve mentioned a few times here, The Mindscape of Alan Moore<\/em> is available on DVD<\/a> in Europe and the US and includes a bonus disc of interviews with Alan’s collaborators, Dave Gibbons among them. All the packaging and interface was designed by yours truly<\/a>.<\/p>\n
