Fan Casting Herself in David Hayter's Watchmen

The CNN anchor appears on television screens throughout the film, reporting on the New York catastrophe and the sudden global ceasefire. Her presence is a thin membrane between the film's alternate reality and our own, delivering the news of the end of the world in the same tone she once used to report on wars and terror. She is not performing. She is simply there, and the world feels truer for it.
