Cracking news to yet again reinforce the notion that Zack Snyder is going to the source and sticking true to the original Watchmen graphic novel/comic series with the announcement that he's looking for lookalikes including that of Richard Nixon.

“President Richard Nixon: 35-45. We'll be aging him up for a variety of scenes that occur from 1960-1985. The President of the United States, profane, paranoid and panicky. Looking for someone who really resembles and can closely impersonate him”

The story from Moviehole has the entire casting notice, including a call for John Lennon, Yoko Ono, McLaughlin, Eleanor Clift and Pat Buchanan.

Looks like they are definitely going all the way on this one. Surely this production can't fail this time?
