I’m in love with this trailer, I have feelings for it that I never thought were possible for 2 minutes of film tease.
Castro, JFK, Nixon, that sadistic war room. Wow, how much more epic does WATCHMEN feel with all that now?
It would be a travesty if we don’t get to see this movie in 2009. I could live with a delay for a few months but man, I want to see this movie by the end of this decade. Hopefully March 9th, let’s pray for March 9th. Delaying WATCHMEN would be like delaying Christmas.
And you know the best thing about what Zack Snyder has created here? It feels EXACTLY like the Alan Moore graphic novel. It moves the same, carries the same atmosphere and although there is obvious changes, the overall package looks to stick closely to Moore’s vision. Oh, why didn’t Snyder direct THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN and FROM HELL too?
And this week he has spoken to IFMAGAZINE about directing THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. You know, one day, I would love to see it…
“I’m interested in Frank Miller’s [graphic novel] THE DARK KNIGHT [RETURNS]. That’s really my favorite comic book. However, the studio has this massive franchise and I don’t think they’ll let me make a Batman movie where he’s 50 years old and Ronald Reagan is president.”

a straight adaptation of the dark knight returns would be weird, i love it to death, but it should stay a comic. unless nolan wanted to do a LOOSE adaptation with an old christian bale in twenty years…
oh, and, how come the japanese get the best trailer for watchemen?! no fair.
Matt,
You’re right that this makes it feel much more epic. The addition of JFK, Castro and Nixon is a nice touch.
I’m very excited to see this.
One can only imagine his touch to League. It’s a great story and a much darker one than what made it to the screen. Maybe one day that will get its due. Because I want to see a much, much darker version of Jeckyl/Hyde. That dude was a sick twist in the comic book.
you are probably gonna hate me for this but i’ve been trying to get into this whole watchmen thing for years and i just cant. i read the graphic novel when i was in school and i thought it was alright. i’m obviously in the minority here but i hate the trailer. i’m a big fan of comic book movies (even the bad ones) and i cant help thinking that after how bad 300 was this is going to be a severe letdown.
