Watching The Watchmen! Tales Of The Black Freighter
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Warner will be releasing a straight-to-DVD animated spin-off of Zach Snyder’s forthcoming Watchmen. The Tale Of The Black Freighter will be released on DVD in the US after The Watchmen’s theatrical debut on March 6th, 2009, with The Watchmen DVD following four months later.
In Alan Moore’s original comic book, ‘Black Freighter’ is a story-within-a-story about a man trying to save his town from pirates. Zach Snyder has also stated that The Tale Of The Black Freighter may well be spliced together with the Watchmen movie when it is released to DVD, taking the film well beyond its current three-hour running time!
