Countdown Clock

With the release of Watchmen just two weeks away....(yippee!!)



Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons talks the film's running time:

[We] first broke the story of a three-plus hour director's cut of "Watchmen" coming to DVD back in November and now it looks like said cut may be making it to the big screen as well.

Talking with VH1, Director Zack Snyder says that the 190-minute director's cut will be hitting DVD & Blu-ray shelves in July and, if the theatrical cut performs well, the director’s cut will get a theatrical release in Los Angeles and New York around the same time.

Take not this is NOT the 'Ultimate Edition' DVD with a shortened version of the 24-minute Tales of the Black Freighter animated short re-incorporated back in. That 205-minute version will likely only be seen on DVD & Blu-ray.

As far as I'm concerned Longer is better considering the epic nature of the book

Meanwhile-Jeff Jensen of EW writes this week's cover story on the film which includes Six different covers!

''Watchmen'' took 23 years to get to the big screen. Now, we're going to find out who can handle it... Watchmen virgins: Here's your movie primer!

Hype galore: there's even stories about the size of Doctor Manhattan's manhood in the flick.... um...
