Watchmen, part 5
Ozymandias (Adrian Veidt) is a character appearing in the comic book limited series Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, published by DC Comics.
Named Ozymandias in the manner of Ramesses II, he is a modified version of the character Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt from Charlton Comics.
His name recalls the famous poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, which takes as its theme the fleeting nature of empire.
Matthew Goode plays Veidt in the upcoming film.
During earlier pre-production and attempts to make the film, Tom Cruise and Jude Law (a fan of the comic) both expressed interest in playing the role, but they left the project after several delays and budget costs.
