I know I'm getting repetitive on this one, but there's a new Watchmen trailer viewable online (as in not the one with the Pumpkins in the background, but a shiny new one with Muse.) It's the first bit of footage I've seen that actually attempts to introduce the story - by giving away that the first few pages of the book are concerned with someone chucking the Comedian out of his high-rise apartment window (that doesn't really count as a spoiler, does it?) Watch it and weep at the beauty.Also interesting, if you're a fan of the book (and everyone should be) is a bit of a cryptic interview with director Zack Snyder on Empire Online, where he mentions how they've decided to deal with the ending of the book, without actually giving away anything to anyone who doesn't know about it already. Also, it sounds as if they intend to pack the DVD with extras mirroring the book's "extras" - clippings and extracts from articles and books that come between the chapters in the graphic novel. Touches like that should make it a whole experience onto itself.
I actually can't wait.
