Watchmen Trailer Makes Early Debut
Mike told us yesterday that the Watchmen trailer would be premiering with the IMAX version of The Dark Knight and he was absolutely right when he said it. Not long after, however, the trailer was leaked onto the internet and now all of us can enjoy it equally.
Now this, this is how I imagine a graphic novel to look on screen! This film was directed by Zack Snyder who also directed 300, but it has none of the fake background look to it that 300 had. It just looks awesome. I think this trailer is just really good. This movie is going to be really big.
A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” - which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?
Watchmen stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Billy Crudup, Carla Gugino, Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, and Matthew Goode. It is set to hit theaters on March 6, 2009.

I liked the music playing in the background too, but I did hear someone in the theater say it sucked, so must not appeal to everyone :)
