Actor Patrick Wilson, who plays Nite Owl in the film has corroborated our previous report that the climactic ending in Watchmen will be the same as in the comics. Of course, we aren't going to spoil the ending, so if you've never read the comics and don't know how it ends... too bad. Pick your sorry ass up and go down to the local bookstore, or comics shop and get the graphic novel!
In an interviw with MTV, Mr.(Nite Owl)Wilson commented...
"I have to say, if you know how much Zack believes in it, you wouldn't believe he would go that far from the graphic novel. I don't know how those rumors start, but that'd be a stretch!"
Wilson also says that "Zack [Snyder] tried to put everything he could in and he left it to the studio to cut it and tell him what he can't fit in." For example, "the script we started with, every scene has something different than what's on the page. That's the fun of it, building it as you go."
and...
"Zack loves the graphic novel and he wants to tell the most faithful story he could, but obviously, changes had to be made, things had to be cut. Yet any question I had about adding something, if it helped the scene, he would say, 'Sure, if it works, great.'" Wilson also adds in his own appreciation for the comic's writer Alan Moore, saying "I love everything [he] does. He really deconstructs comic book characters, and he's just fearless. All the good and the bad, you have to respect it." And that's what leads him directly into connecting that respect for the material with Zack Snyder's directorial decisions.
