Serendipitious find- The Watchmen (2009) trailer

So as I was snooping around different websites and news articles trying hard *not* to read anything related to the new Batman movie, I came across something from Empire about a trailer for the new Watchmen film. Apparently, to capture the same audience demographic of comic-book-to-film fans, the trailer will be played during previews prior to The Dark Knight.

A couple of summers ago, Jude and I re-read the single-release issue of The Watchmen in one sitting, but he's the bigger fan, so this is for him :) Like my future brother-in-law, PZ, said last night, many film adaptations of comic books and graphic novels have become increasingly sophisticated and high quality movies in and of themselves (Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, and most recently, Hellboy II, are perfectly fine films on their own...) This trailer is visually stunning, and coupled with the Smashing Pumpkins' "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning", the whole experience of watching The Dark Knight- previews and all- looks set to be a phenomenally mind-blowing one!

the watchmen graphic novel is pretty much mindblowing as well. it challenges your assumptions on the whole superhero quality man. its taking me a long time to finish it (also because now ive got possession to read!) because it needs to be slowly digested!
