Watchmen
News

To promote the release of the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Watchmen, Warner Brothers is doing a one-week theatrical release for Zack Snyder's director cut of Watchmen beginning July 17th.

The theatrical release will be done in only four venues that are located in Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and New York.  The rest of us suckers will have to wait until July 21 to pick up the discs and watch it at home.

So, who's lucky enough to live in one of those four cities to send us the new Watchmen quotes and scenes?

Yes, Watchmen is raking in the money at the box office.

But, no, a sequel certainly isn't in the works. At least not on director Zack Snyder's watch.

"I know that I wouldn't have anything to do with it," Snyder told The New York Times recently.

Snyder expounded on the idea for a sequel, letting his anger rise at the mere concept.

"It would be like me going to [No Country for Old Men author] Cormac McCarthy and going, 'I have an idea for a [sequel]: You write a book, and I'll write a movie, and you can release it. You'll win a Pulitzer; I'll win an Oscar. It'll be awesome,' " Snyder said, condemning the Hollywood belief that every comic-based movie should just keep cranking out sequels as long as there's money to be made.

"The attitude toward comic books, they show their hand a little bit. They would never say that about a real novelist, but they would about a comic book."

Considering the hype Watchmen has received, the most obvious question on the minds of most movie fans must be: Is it worth it?

The answer is: YES... and then some!
