New Watchmen trailer!
Nov. 13, 2008

The new WATCHMEN trailer is here. Where we've been teased before with teaser trailers and Comic-Con footage and Scream Awards clips, this is the real deal. I'm not sure if we'll get another trailer before WATCHMEN hits theaters in March but this is about as close to a full trailer as I can imagine. And man is it good. While I've been critical of some of the artwork for the film, the visuals are all absolutely astounding. The acting is top-notch, the attention to detail is incredible, the effects are breathtaking... I think you'll just have to watch this one for yourself. Check it out below or head to Yahoo! Movies to see it in HD.

Bring corruption to all that you touch
Behold, you'll behold
And behold them for all that you've done
And Spell, cast a spell
Cast a spell on the country you run
And risk, you will risk
You will risk all the lives and their
souls
And burn, you...
Bring corruption to all that you touch
Behold, you'll behold
And behold them for all that you've done
And Spell, cast a spell
Cast a spell on the country you run
And risk, you will risk
You will risk all the lives and their
souls
And burn, you will burn
You will burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
You'll burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
For your sins
Now freedoms concealing itself
What we've become
Is contrary to what we want
Take a bow
Death, you bring death
And destruction to all that you touch
Pay, you must pay
You must pay for your crimes against
the earth
Hate, feed the hate
Feed the hate of the country you love
And beg, you will beg
You will beg for the lives and their
souls
And burn, you will burn
You will burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
You'll burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
Burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
For your sins"
Those are the lyrics to Muse's utterly fantastic and epic "Take a Bow," which is not only makes for a nice touch in this new trailer but also fits the Watchmen universe quite well. The song is about corruption, the failure of leaders (past or present), and the numerous sins committed by leaders, dictators, rulers, etc. I would argue that Muse's "Take a Bow" is a superior song selection than the Smashing Pumpkins' "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning."
As for the trailer, it was fantastic, and I look forward to seeing it on the big screen. I seriously hope "Watchmen" is a fucking brilliant film, because after these trailers and the exclusive Comic-Con footage, my anticipation is through the roof now.
March cannot come soon enough.

I didn't see this at the QoS screening I went to tonight either. They did show Star Trek though... Which started out like some godawful fuckin' toy commercial... But it picked up pretty quickly.

Laurie doesn't necessarily believe Jon can do what he says he can. Or she doesn't want to seem like she does, anyway. His capabilities *are* pretty nuts.

Also, Rorschach's voice sounds like Christian Bale's 'I Gargled Acid' voice in the Batman movies.

One peeve I have is in CGI they just can never get the lips moving right. Always looks weird to me. Dr. Manhattan just didn't seem right the way he moved and talked (the voice sounds just like Matthew Fox too, which threw me off).
Oh well, so far this is my most anticipated movie of 2009, with Trek next and well, there's quite a few coming next year I can't wait for.

@toes, yes, in the movie, they calls themselves the Watchmen i think, just something they added in. as for Jon, technically, the whle point of the latter half of the Graphic novel was that Jon couldnt see very clearly into the future anymore, something was messing with his visions. so, it is not something they just made up. (i will say...

(i will say though, i also cant say i am crazy about Manhattan sounding so ... normal, he is supposed to basically be emotionally dead and detached, i didnt get that feeling)
anyway, @Mark Rumsfield, there was nothing cheese about it, i think your definition of cheesy is just a bit off. and Rorschach's voice is just fine, they didnt copy anything. as for the subplot in 300, yes it was stupid, but they had to add something, take it out and we get like 1.5 hours of sweaty men wearing hardly any clothes. now, we get almost 2 hours of sweaty men wearing hardly any clothes with a little Lena Headey looking hot and whoring herself out thrown in. i mean what else could they have done, there isnt a huge cast a characters they could have played around with.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER*
Is Rorschach saying that there was a group called watchmen? Correct me if I'm wrong but they weren't never an actual group right? I know they tried forming the crime busters but tat never happened.
And why does Laurie say Jon THINKS there is going to be a nuclear war? Is jon not...

And why does Laurie say Jon THINKS there is going to be a nuclear war? Is jon not going to be able to see into future and past in this?
Trailer rocked BTW loved the Rorschach scenes.

I HATED 300 so I have no confidence in this director. He is a talentless buffoon as far as I'm concerned. Those are some harsh words but I feel entitled to say that having endured the truly f#cking terrible subplot he wrote for 300 that wasn't in the graphic novel and involved the Queen whoring herself out. How f#cking lame, and it really got on my nerves because Lena Headey is such a good actress. It offended my sense of good taste to see her in such garbage.
Thought the graphic novel of Watchmen was very good though so I will see this movie but I'm not excited at all for it.

MUSE FUCKING ROCKS!
Would have been interesting to hear Rise Against's Give It All, or Famous Last Words By MCR to a trailer like this...

I prefer the song played during this one then opposed to the Smashing Pumpkin's one that is on the teaser.
