This film adaptation of Alan Moore's masterpiece Watchmen is set out 6 March 2009, you can see the trailer HERE
It looks pretty and is probably going to be very awesome:
Here's the production blog
Entertainment Weekly feature on the film
EW wrote:Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children) campaigned for the role of Rorschach — the comic's most popular character, despite his sociopathic, sadistic vigilantism — by recruiting 14 friends to help produce a video of himself performing sequences from the comic book. ''It was a little labor of love, man,'' he says. ''Kind of cheesy, but for an audition piece, it sufficed.''
Based on footage Snyder screened for EW, at least, the work seems to have been worth it. Multiple scenes — the Comedian's murder, Rorschach's introduction, Dr. Manhattan's origin, and a hypnotic title sequence that shutter-flies through the history of Watchmen America, set to Bob Dylan's ''The Times They Are A-Changin''' — suggest a film that may capture more of Watchmen than anyone thought possible. Sure, there have been changes. The catastrophic climax is different. Provocative bits, like a timely subplot about alternative fuels, have been added. And a pirate/horror comic book that was threaded ironically throughout the Moore/Gibbons narrative is set to become a separate animated DVD.
Alan Moore Q&A
Interview with Zack Snyder
Zack Snyder wrote:When people saw our version of the Ozymandias costume on the Internet, some were like, ''It's like a Joel Schumacher Batman movie! The costume has nipples! That's crazy!'' And I'm like, ''Yeah, but that's the point!'' With their comic, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons were saying, ''Superheroes are kinda funky, aren't they?'' We build upon that with a movie that acknowledges that superhero movies have affected pop culture.

"If you want him, you've gotta go through us"
"Alright."
And then the hot-knife-through-butter commences.
