'Watchmen' Trailer Debuts
First look at the new GN adaptation!
The headline pretty much says it all, as the trailer for the much-anticipated adaptation of Alan Moore and David Gibbons' groundbreaking graphic novel Watchmen was released on Empire Online today. The Empire Online video is down, but the trailer has found its way to YouTube, of course. (As various verisons get posted and taken down, I'll try to keep this thread updated with any that are still available. Be sure to check out our Watchmen trailer image gallery, too!)
(via a tip from UglyHill)
UPDATE: Well, you knew that was bound to happen. The YouTube video has been taken down, and the Empire Online page remains in a state of 404 Error. Here's hoping you were able to catch the trailer while it was floating around -- it was impressive, to say the least.
UPDATE: Thanks to another astute ComicMix fan, we've tracked down the trailer elsewhere on the 'Tubes and embedded it after the jump. (Thanks, RJ, Jr.!)

Holy shit!

My thoughts exactly!

I'm very very optimistic-- which is funny, considering the trailer is anything but.

Oh man, based on what they showed, it looked like they stayed true to the graphic novel while modernizing the visual effects.
Am I ever so looking forward to seeing this, with an "open mind".
I sure hope the rest of the movie lives up to the trailer as well as the graphic novel.
Maybe this time a Moore creation will have been "handled" well.

I just tried to watch the video only to be told it was no longer available. Any way to get it back or see it elsewhere?

You can watch the second video - the one on the bottom. I just watched it there a second ago.

It's also available on the Apple trailers site, just in case.
