Watchmen Trailer Online

The trailer for Watchmen is attached to copies of The Dark Knight in theaters, but you can see it online now.

For fans of the Watchmen graphic novel, your wait is nearly over. Director Zach Snyder (300) has been working to create a film version worthy of one of the most revered works of comic geekdom. The results are clear to see in this outstanding preview.

You will be amazed by how beautifully Snyder has translated its imagery to film. The characters seem to have jumped off the page. The art direction is astounding. The scope of the film is absolutely epic.

I want to weep, it’s so perfect. This is not just another comic book film. This is art. If the film lives up to the trailer, it may be Oscar-worthy. I'm serious. It's that good.

Watchmen Contest

Zach Snyder Launches Contest for Warner Bros.'s Watchmen

Zack Snyder is offering you the opportunity to create "Veidt Enterprises" TV commercials that could end up in Warner Bros.'s feature film Watchmen, scheduled to be released in theaters on March 6, 2009.

To get started, download the standard definition and/or high definition assets from the links below, and then shoot your own original TV commercial that advertises one of the products! Remember, the movie is set in 1985, so TV commercials should be in 4:3 aspect ratio (so it looks like standard TV, not widescreen) and they should be either 15, 30 or 60 seconds in length. The products are all made by "Veidt Enterprises," and you can download the product logos for your use as well.

Make your TV commercial in NTSC standard definition (720x486) or higher resolution, upload it, and then others can vote on your work. The contest ends on June 2, 2008. The 40 finalists will win signed posters from Zack Snyder. The top five finalists from user votes will win High-Definition Canon Vixia HG10 camcorders. Up to 20 of Zack's favorite finalists will win $1,000.00, and have a chance to be included in the Watchmen feature film itself.
