Finally, we get a Watchmen promotional movie poster that doesn’t focus squarely on one character. The Blot loves this poster almost as much as I love all the drama swirling around the movie’s production. First it was the ongoing legal battle between Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. over which production company holds the distribution rights to any film based on the DC comic book mini-series. (link) As if that unsettled lawsuit wasn’t enough, a new controversy has emerged leaving many fans unhappy.
According to this report, director Zack Snyder has decided to change the end of the movie to include an all new ending not based on the source material. If you don’t already know how the Watchmen story ends or don’t want to know the movie’s new ending, do not click here. Just a friendly warning!
Regardless of this new development, The Blot still thinks Watchmen sounds ridiculously awesome and I cannot wait for it to come out. The story itself is already considered one of the best books of the past 25 years and I am anxious to see how it is translated to the silver screen.
Watchmen premieres in theaters everywhere on March 6, 2009.
