Mark your Calendars for July 28th 2009 as Watchmen Blu-Ray Discs and DVD will be released!
Here are the specifications for both the DVD and the Blu-Ray. Just the fact that there is 25 minutes worth of extra footage should be worth the price alone. The only drawback is that they did not include the “Tales of the Black Freighter” animated movie with this set which would have to be bought separately. Who knows, they might release an “Supremely Penultimate Edition” in a couple of months what includes everything but this is good enough for me!
-Director’s Cut (additional 25 min.) — Newly included footage contains more Rorschach and a scene of Hollis Mason’s death.
-Warner Bros. Maximum Movie Mode [With Watchmen Director Zack Snyder as our host, we’ll dive deep into the intricacies of the Watchmen.]
-Director walk-ons with scene analysis
-Picture-in-picture video from the cast and crew
-Side-by-side comparisons of the graphic novel and the film
-Timeline comparisons of our world events to those from Watchmen
-Photo galleries of production stills and storyboards
-The Phenomenon: The Comic That Changed Comics [Learn how the
subversive, thematically complex, award winning comic that changed
literature, inspired analytical debate, and won countless fans, was created]-Real Superheroes, Real Vigilantes [Explores the fascination and psychology behind real-world vigilantes and where that behavior crosses over into actually donning the hood and behaving as superheroes.]
-Mechanics: Technologies of a Fantastic World [The creators of Watchmen had a great understanding of engineering and science, allowing for plausible mechanics in their characters tools and the world itself. This featurette will guide the viewer through the filmmakers process of turning these technologies into cinematic reality]
-My Chemical Romance Desolation Row Music Video
-BD-Live with even more content
-Digital Copy
Did u just spoil the movie by saying Hollis Mason dies? I don’t know who she is though.

Hehe. Well, actually Hollis Mason is the old Night Owl. They didn’t show him dying in the movie but he dies in the book…

But Hollis is a girl’s name! In my opinion anyway.

M poor in comics follow-up. No clue to what is Watchmen. But it seemed pretty scary. If it is that commendable, will look out for it.
