I remember reading Watchmen in middle school; transcendence isn’t often attributed to comic books, but this one forever changed my world-view, in ways no other work of fiction has. It’s been an interminable wait for the movie version…over the past twenty years, some of the most gifted filmmakers alive have taken a stab at adapting it, including Terry Gilliam, Darren Aaronofsky, Guillermo del Toro, and Paul Greengrass. Finally, it’s really happening under 300 director, Zack Snyder.
This is the best trailer I’ve ever seen. The movie’s out on March 6, 2009.
