Watchmen’s “Black Freighter” Coming to DVD
I’m a fan of Zach Snyder, so until he screws up royally I’m going to see his movies. So couple him with the Watchmen and I’m super-excited. I can’t wait to see the filmed version of this unfilmable epic. I have faith, and even more so now that it’s reported that Warner Bros. will release Tales of the Black Freighter, the pirated-themed comic inside the original Watchmen comic (whoa, so meta), on DVD a couple days after Watchmen is released. March has never looked so good.
The DVD, Tales of the Black Freighter, and will be a direct-to-video anime, streeting on March 11th, 2009. Gerard Butler is the voice of the Captain in the movie, and the DVD will also include a documentary on the Watchmen character’s backstories. While I would have loved to see this live-action, I’m still happy that it exists at all. There’s even a rumor that the DVD release of Watchmen will have this cut into it. Cooool!

Oh my, that’s priceless!! I’m unsure whether or not I want to read Watchmen again before the movie. I don’t care if he strays from the source material, but I also want it fresh in my head a little. Oh what to do, what to do!!
I remember reading the Watchmen for the first time when I was young…quite an experience for a young adult. I saw the movie last night and was surprisingly impressed. My copy of the Watchmen didn’t come with the “Black Freighter”, so I’m think I’m going to check this DVD out.
