Wednesday Video Spotlight: “Watchmen”
The long-anticipated film adaptation of “Watchmen” opens Friday in theaters. The acclaimed graphic novel was long considered unfilmable, but “300″ director Zack Snyder apparently has pulled it off.
The buzz has been building for “Watchmen” since Snyder presented snippets at a packed panel last summer at San Diego Comic-Con. A strong ad campaign has helped keep the excitement going.
I’m currently reading the graphic novel for the first time, and it’s completely engrossing. So far, the source material has proven worthy of the hype, but will the movie?
And for those of you concerned that Warner Bros. will try to turn out a “Watchmen” sequel in the hopes of building a big-money comic-book franchise, Snyder says he’s not signing on, even if the actors are contractually obligated to. Click here to read what IMDB has to say about that.
Assistant Features Editor Matt Price (of Nerdage blog) will be offering his review and features on the movie Friday. Until then, check out these trailers and clips from “Watchmen,” posted here from YouTube:
