Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Stephen McHattie and Carla Gugino.
Set in an alternate 1985, the film follows a group of former vigilantes as war begins to break out between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The $120 million budget film began shooting in Vancouver in September 2007 and is due for release on March 6, 2009. Snyder's son cameos as a young Rorschach.
Richard Nixon is still president, and tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union are at an all-time high. The vigilante Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) is investigating the murder of a former hero, the Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), and uncovers a plot to discredit and murder various heroes. Vigilante Rorschach discovers a far wider-ranging conspiracy involving his colleagues' past which could completely change the course of history.
