Watchmen DVD

WATCHMEN The hugely-anticipated, gritty and sinister big-screen adaptation of the most celebrated graphic novel of all time, WATCHMEN now available on 2-disc DVD & Blu-ray.

This visually spectacular film, directed by Zack Snyder (300), is based on the 80s comic book series of the same name created by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. TheWATCHMEN is the only graphic novel to appear on Time magazine's list of "100 best Englishlanguage novels".

The 2-disc DVD comes loaded with nearly 2 hours of special features, including 'Real Superheroes, Real Vigilantes', 11 Webisodes, two viral videos and the music video for the MyChemical Romance version of the Bob Dylan song, "Desolation Row", which was recorded for the film.

The Blu-ray version will give audiences a stunning viewing experience, featuring 5.1 Dolby TrueHD and containing all the special features from the 2-disc format.

A complex and multi-layered mystery adventure, WATCHMEN is set in an alternate 1985 America; a world darkened by fear and paranoia in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - moves closer to nuclear midnight.

When a former colleague, The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan - TVs Grey's Anatomy) is murdered, the outlawed but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley -Semi-Pro) sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As Rorschach reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion, a disbanded group of retiredsuperheroes, including Nite Owl II (Patrick Wilson - Lakeview Terrace), Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman - The Heartbreak Kid), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode - Brideshead Revisited) and Dr.Manhattan (Billy Crudup - Mission: Impossible III), the only one who has true powers - he glimpses a disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences forthe future. Together, the heroes must expose a sinister plan that puts the human race and their own existence in grave danger. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?
