A “Watchmen” Sequel? Umm, how? Star Patrick Wilson confirms that WB has acutally thought of doing a sequel to the Alan Moore-penned graphic novel adaptation coming out next March (unless Fox Searchlight and their lawsuit fucks that plan). Thankfully, Zack Snyder and the cast all realize that this idea would be infinitely retarded. “It’s all been talked about. Financially, they like to do that. But all of us, Zack [Snyder] included, all go, ‘How on Earth could you do a sequel or prequel? So those studio jackasses, won’t let it be a three hour movie, and will likely force them to cut the Treasure Island-like subplot, but they want a sequel, huh? Retards. What they should have done is figured out a way how to make “Watchmen” two movies in the first place so you could really give the depth of that story time to breathe (though, yes, there is no logical break in Moore’s story, at least not an obvious one).

Screenwriter Diablo Cody has gone off on all the haters about eight months too late and ripped into them on her Myspace page. Gee, that’ll teach them. [SlashFilm]
William Shatner is still pissed he’s not in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” prequel. Dude, get over it already. Dude, did you hear about the idea he had for Superman that Brett Ratner almost shot (we’ll get into that a little deeper soon)? Holy crap, it was laughable. You should probably be thankful you’re not in it. [L.A. Times]
Ed Harris wants to shoot a sequel to “Appaloosa,” which stars the actor/director and Viggo Mortensen. Considering it didn’t do gangbusters with critics at TIFF, we’re sort of skeptical that someone will give him the money to do so. [MTV]
Speaking of Viggo, the actor says, no one on “The Hobbit” team including Peter Jackson or Guillermo del Toro have approached him about reprising his role as Aragorn from the “Lord Of The Rings” franchise, but the script hasn’t even been written yet, so we’re sure if the character does appear in one of the two films, it’ll take a few months for the producers to contact him.

Shit, anyone remember Zap Comic’s “Reid Fleming, The World’s Toughest Milkman,” hilariously demented comic about a super surly milkman? We kinda loved it in highschool. Well, anywoo, Jonathan Demme wants to make a live-action movie out of the comic. Rad. [Splashpage]
Shirley Manson from the U.K./U.S. dance rock band, Garbage says she’d make the perfect Catwoman. Maybe in 1999 when people actually gave a shit about her band. [Splash]
Speaking of Ratner, will he do a “Conan The Barbarian” reboot? And do we give a flying fuck? (No) [Dread]
