Can't Wait!

One of the most talked about movies for next year is Alan Moore's (V for Vendetta),  and Dave Gibbon's award-winning (the only graphic novel to receive the Hugo Award and the only graphic novel to make it onto Time's "Best 100 English-language novels") and critically acclaimed Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 300).

The movie, which is still in its editing phase, runs about 3 hours and has received amazing reviews from exclusive early screenings by other directors. BUT, there has been some very publicized legal drama pertaining to the rights of the script/novel between FOX and Warner Bros. The court date is set for January 6th.

Most of you may have already seen this trailer before The Dark Knight, but why not "watch" it again?

Here is a short synopsis of the novel from Wikipedia:

Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternate history of the United States where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union; throughout the books, the Doomsday Clock is shown gradually ticking towards midnight. It tells the story of a group of past and present heroes and superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts heroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who—with one notable exception—lack anything immediately recognizable as accepted super powers. Watchmen's deconstruction of the conventional superhero archetype, combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques and heavy use of symbolism, multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction, has influenced both comics and film.
