On the Set: Zack Snyder’s The Watchmen
(Page 2)
BELOW: According to Snyder’s blog post, the backlot required 5,800 feet of neon needing 24,000 watts of power, 200,000 nails, 5,000 square feet of custom posters and 160,000 pounds of steel I-beams. The set is complex by any standards, but compared to 300, which almost exclusively used a digital backlot, it’s worlds different.

Notes from Movieland: 14: Sundance, 28: Hollywood High
I promised to write about Antonio (Tony) Manriquez a few blogs ago. He’s one of the cinematic child wonders currently coming up through the ranks. Though still pursuing his own moviemaking expression on some level, Tony, 28, now teaches other youngsters the magic of moviemaking. One of the reasons I wanted to write about Tony was his incredible passion for and knowledge of not only the craft of moviemaking, but the world of film.
