Zack Snyder, the brilliant mind behind 2004’s DAWN OF THE DEAD and the visual gore-fest 300, has taken time off to treat his fans and fans of a very special comic to a video, from a very special movie set.
What is so special you ask? Well I must be talking about the long awaited WATCHMEN film that Zack Snyder is currently directing. If you don’t know what WATCHMEN is, then shame on you. But I do forgive because you were a sheltered child, didn’t get to experience all that is great in the world of Alan Moore comics.
A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, “Watchmen” is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?
Sounds badass right? Well click here to watch the video.
The film is set for release on March 9, 2009, with a cast that includes Patrick Wilson, Malin Ackerman, Jackie Earle Haley, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
