Get ready for a trip down memory lane, superhero fans! A brand new trailer has been released for an upcoming animated movie based on the famous comic book series “Watchmen.” This will be the third time the story is brought to life on screen, following Zack Snyder’s live-action movie in 2009.
What is Watchmen?
Imagine a world where superheroes aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. That’s the kind of world “Watchmen” takes place in. The comic book, created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, tells the story of a group of retired superheroes in an alternate version of the 1980s. These heroes aren’t perfect. They make mistakes, they have dark pasts, and they struggle with the consequences of their actions.
New Animated Movie
The new movie is called “Watchmen Chapters 1 & 2” and will be a two-part animated event. This means the story will be split into two separate movies. Warner Bros. released the trailer, giving fans a sneak peek at the characters and the story.
Why Another Watchmen?
This is a question some fans might be asking. After all, there was already a movie in 2009 and even an HBO series in 2019 that took a more creative approach to the story. Well, the makers of this new movie say they want to be as faithful as possible to the original comic book. In other words, they want to tell the story exactly how it was written in the comics, with no big changes.
Trailer Breakdown
The trailer shows glimpses of some of the most famous characters from the comics, including Rorschach, a mysterious vigilante who wears a mask with ever-changing inkblots; Dr. Manhattan, a powerful being who can do almost anything; and The Comedian, a violent and ruthless hero. We also see scenes that comic book fans will recognize, like the smiley face button that plays a big role in the story.
Animation Style
The animation for “Watchmen Chapters 1 & 2” is done in 3D. This means the characters and world will look more realistic than a traditional cartoon. The trailer shows that the 3D animation captures the dark and gritty atmosphere of the comics very well.
When Can We Watch It?
There isn’t an official release date for the movie yet, but the trailer gives us a clue. At the very end, it says “Coming Soon.” So, we can expect to see “Watchmen Chapters 1 & 2” sometime in the near future.
