Trailer for THE WATCHMEN

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

I saw the trailer for Zack Snyder's The Watchmen in front of The Dark Knight (drop whatever you're doing and go see it if you haven't, it really is that good) a little while ago, and it looks terrific. If you haven't already seen the trailer, I would advise saving it for the theater, but if you want to see it on YouTube, here's the "Offecial" [sic] trailer:

There was also a trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and it looks surprisingly fun. I'm not particularly a fan of this Mummy series (I barely remember the first and didn't see the second), but I'll probably see this one. Anything with a Ghidorah in it can't be bad, right?

Hello UYDers,

Do anyone know if Alan Moore or Dave Gibbons will receive any cut of the movie or merchandise from the movie? I noticed on imdb.com that Moore is recognized as "Writer (graphic Novel) uncredited."

Peace, maka

Dave gibbons will but Moore won't. Moore never wants to be credited for a movie based on his stuff. He also gives all his movie royalties to the artist.
