Giving Dr. Manhattan His Smurf-Like Glow
Posted at 10:16 AM Oct 07, 2008
Sci-Fi.com has a swell but non-embeddable video of a behind-the-scenes look at the Watchmen movie, namely the arduous process of turning Billy Crudup into Dr. Manhattan. Intriguingly, they had Crudup wear a suit covered in blue LED lights so that ever after they replaced him with his CG version, he would be emitting a natural, realistic blue glow—he even had lights on the bottom of his feet. Even if you're not interested in this tiny piece of movie magic, it looks like the video has a few brief scenes that weren't in the trailer, so it's definitely worth checking out.

The first trailer really made me think the film could be ok, then the final 15 seconds of this vid with the 50 foot tall Dr. Manhattan being looked upon by Rorschach makes me belive it will good.
