Watchmen
While we only have a few days left before the arrival of the Watchmen trailer -- this should be a glorious week by the way -- the good people at CHUD got an early look at the preview and have decided to give a descriptive report on it.
Watchmen Trailer Description
While this trailer will be the film's first, it is not a teaser. Holding little back, Warner Bros' first preview runs over two minutes long, but that doesn't mean they are giving too much away. According to the report, the trailer only has one line of dialogue.
If there is a narrative thread in these two minutes, it's the origin of Dr. Manhattan. We see Jon Osterman stuck in that particle chamber, and then getting disassembled. Later we see his nervous system reconstructing itself in a hallway, scaring a janitor. Then we see him completely forming himself in the commissary, big, blue, naked and in a Jesus Christ pose, hovering above the floor. We see three Jons in one shot, and we see Jon and Laurie kissing in a shot that was so beautiful it gave me some goosebumps.
This trailer seems cut to emphasize how similar the movie is to the comic - there are a lot of moments that look like comic panels, and I bet that we'll see people doing side by side comparisons as soon as the trailer is available online (I hear next week).
