New Watchmen News, Poster, and Video

Several juicy bits of Watchmen news have just hit the web in the last few days.

For starters, there’s a new trailer coming.  Director Zack Snyder says it’ll be attached to the new 007 movie, Quantum of Solace, opening next Friday (another reason to go see that movie!).  He says that compared to the first trailer,

“…it’s a little bit more story, a teeny bit more like a full trailer. This is much more like ‘someone’s picking off costume heroes.’ You’ll get a sense of the characters’ plight.  You know, ‘we were supposed to make the world a better place… what happened to the American Dream’.”

He also confirmed that a third trailer is in the works for early next year.  The full conversation is here.

If you’re interested in the upcoming “Watchmen: The End Is Nigh” video game prequel, 1Up has an article about it here.

Finally, check out the new Rorschach-centric Watchmen movie poster, and below that, this month’s behind-the-scenes video journal.

I’m really looking forward to the movie. I never heard of Watchmen until I saw the first trailer, but it really pulled me in!

Awesome poster! You see, Hollywood, the best posters are the ones WITHOUT actors faces plastered all over them!
