Watchmen – Second Theatrical Trailer

YouTube – Watchmen – Second Full New Trailer HD.

Here you go.

I’m actually starting to get V for Vendetta flashes – the feeling that even though it’s something recognizable as that awesome thing I loved in my youth, it might not be the ultimate rapture of the nerds. Perhaps it’s just that they didn’t use that Smashing Pumpkins track this time…

Two hours, 43 minutes

A few things on the wake of the burst of Watchmen fanboy enthusiasm shared at ICon. First, I am stupid – the easy-to-remember release date of 03-06-09 isn’t in June, it’s in March – American dates are silly that way. Second, imdb lists the movie as aka Watchmen: The IMAX Experience, so Roly is right – this really will necessitate a trip to the lands beyond Haifa.

Also, looking around for info about the movie’s length, I found a report from a press screening describing 25 minutes of the movie Zack Snyder showed to journalists, and including audio recordings of what he said [1] [2] [3] [4].

Also, here’s the full Watchmen panel from the San Diego Comic-Con, with Snyder, Dave Gibbons and the leading actors.

Who watches the mean streets?

The latest production video diary for the Watchmen movie includes some interesting images, including my first glimpse of Dan Dreiberg, Nite-Owl’s secret identity. OK, we already know he’s less chubby, but look at that sweet seventies square haircut. It fits in well with the other images we’ve seen of the set, including the way the cars look: less retro-future like in the comic (with its electric cars), more straight retro with a 70s-early 80s feel.

Watch, man!

No, I haven’t watched it yet (although the bit I did see was cute). But look! here’s a trailer for Watchmen! No, here it is! Or here!

Maybe that’s what’s clogging the tubes. Or maybe it’s just the weekend, and my Internet doesn’t like working the weekend.
