With only a month left before 2009’s most anticipated movie, Watchmen, hits theaters, the marketing machine behind the film is cranking into high gear. Aside from the drool-inducing trailers and TV spots, new stills and promotional posters for Watchmen are popping up left and right.
(Oh and did you notice the cool new Rorschach pic up above? Who loves ya better than Screen Rant, baby!)

These latest posters are pretty cool: one captures the atmosphere of the Watchmen continuum with a “no more masks” anti-superhero wanted list; the other is a group pic of the Watchmen depicted in larger-than-life scale to promote the film’s IMAX release. Check them out:

These posters are definitely better than some of the earlier promo art that we’ve seen for Watchmen. (Is it OK to start getting really crazy excited for this film to come out? If it isn’t, consider me having jumped the shark. I’ve been walking around my apartment for days now with an old cloth marked up by a Sharpie pen pulled over my face. Just call me Rorschach.)
Finally, before I leave you and because I love you–and because I love Watchmen even more than I love you, here is a slew of new images from the film. The pics include Dr. Manhattan going buck-wild with his powers in a local bar; Nite Owl and Silk Spectre II happening past a sign-waving street prophet while on a late night stroll; the old news vendor yelling at the sign-waving “prophet of doom” and finally, the prophet himself waving his sign, letting people know that the end is coming. Enjoy.

So what do you think, are the new posters and images getting you rabidly excited for Watchmen? Don’t stress: with the lawsuit between Fox and Warner Bros. settled, it should be smooth sailing from here on out until March 6, 2009, when Watchmen hits theaters.

Holy Moley…Vic that was one of the biggest suprises for me in the book was to find out that Rorschach was the sign carrying crazy conspiracy guy… Am I the only one who didn’t figure that out before it was revealed?
I have a babysitter booked already nd I can’t wait to see this…
Kovac..geez I had a major blank there on Rorschach’s alter ego… DUH !!

This movie is going to be soooooooooooooo damn good!!!! Could it be the first great Alan Moore adaption???
@ Rob, Kofi
I’m an idiot and easily confused as well !!
Can’t wait for this…What day is it again?
Guess the question will finally be answered…
“Who watches the Watchmen?”
EVERY FREAKIN’ ONE OF US!!!
Very cool post Kofi! Thanx!
nowhereman,
I live to serve Screen Rant.
I wish I could see the movie with my wife’s eyes. She didn’t read the comics and I won’t let her until the movie.
*Should* maximise the enjoyment level.
AFTER that, we will geek out together over the comic and spot the myriads of similarites.
It’s all planned out.
If the movie sucks … we’ll go home and watch a porn movie.

no … wait …
That last picture kinda looks like a younger Clint Eastwood.
@ Patrick
Or Danny Bonaduce…
@ David Hasselbach
My wife and I will be in the same boat and she doesn’t want to read it until the movie is done…I think it will be highly unlikely that this film disappoints but if the theatrical version does we will just wait for the Director’s Cut with Black Freighter footage as well and that is rumoured to clock in at over 4 to 4.5 hours
and that one is sure to be a longtime fan’s dream cut of this masterpiece…

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

No porn though…it leads to copulation which invariably will expand our family of five..to six
That would be madness I say, MADNESS!!
