Silk Specter II aka Laurie Jupiter jumps onto the big screen in Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder, and is played by Malin Akerman. And I must say again that this is one of the most perfectly cast movies I have ever seen. Although I do have a few problems with how they handled Laurie by taking away some of her lines and giving them to other characters. Overall she transitioned from page to screen seamlessly. She is a very strong woman with a dark past that looms over her. She is the daughter of Sally Jupiter aka Silk Specter and Eddie Blake aka The Comedian (although this isn't officially confirmed until the last half of the movie). So naturally she was raised to also be a vigilante just like her parents. We see her grow as she over comes the fear of her origins while trying to get her life together as the world is facing chaos and potential destruction.

This is the only time we'll see Laurie on the big screen, unless they decide to make a Before Watchman mini series or something. Until then, we can only dream. Have a great week everyone!
