I am a 61 yr old grandma who was blown away by 300(I saw it 11 times in the theater) and can hardly wait to see Watchman and Tales of the Black Freighter–don’t know if I can wait for the directors cut on this one. Zack S. is an amazing talent as is Gerard Butler.

I wonder if the Blu-Ray version will have an option of cutting the Black Freighter into the appropriate places in the movie. THAT would be worth waiting for.

KEl,

I have to say I love that they did the whole Under the Hood documentary. I would’ve loved to see those segments of the documentary spliced into the theatrical version at key chapter points. It would’ve given a whole new dimension to the story. Sigh. But I’ll have to wait for the Blu-Ray I guess…

Thanks for the post!

Checking this out ASAP, altho the BF was my least favorite thing about the book. In all honesty, I have to say I’m looking forward to the “Under the Hood” segment most.

I am so thrilled they’re doing this. I always thought it was integral to Watchmen. Not plot, but just atmosphere. Great move!

Kofi,

Like you, I was going to wait until the Director’s Cut.. But I dunno, this looks pretty cool– and has “Under the Hood” aswell? Yeah, I’ll probably just break-down and go ahead and watch it.

Oh, and Gerard Butler definitely sounds great.
