There will be three "companion" books for the "Watchmen" film which stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Billy Crudup, Malin Ackerman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, and Carla Gugino. According to Amazon.com, the books will be available starting February 10, 2009. The film is scheduled to be released March 6, 2009.

"Titan Books has released the covers to their upcoming Watchmen books.
First up is "Watchmen: Official Film Companion" by Peter Aperlo, which Titan describes as:

"Released a month before the movie hits cinema screens, Watchmen: Official Film Companion takes viewers inside this colossal movie with exclusive cast and crew interviews and more than 200 color photographs. "

It is the most eagerly awaited comics-to-film adaptation of them all. The graphic novel that changed an industry is now a film, directed by Zack Snyder (300), and Watchmen: The Official Film Companion is the essential guide to this cinematic event. A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 in which costumed super heroes are part of the fabric of everyday American society. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present super heroes. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?

Featuring exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, and scores of photos, this is the comprehensive guide to the new movie event.

More news about "Watchmen" video game

Here's a link to more news about the "Watchmen" video game. http://www.watchmencomicmovie.com/120508-watchmen-movie-mobile-video-game.php

Excerpts: "Actors Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley also lend their voices to the game’s soundtrack and will also contain some cut-scenes in the style of the new motion comics – which stylistically mirror the look of the graphic novel."

"The first episode of The End Is Nigh will arrive as a substantial download on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam for PC in March 2009, coinciding with the release of the film.

If you can't wait until March to see more, there will be an exclusive preview of the Watchmen video game during the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards, which will air 9 PM EST on December 14, on Spike TV."

No "Barry Munday" at 2009 Sundance Film Festival

"Barry Munday" didn't make it into the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Boo.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i4386920ea4 40276dcde41baf7b7524e3

But, as Patrick Wilson told us when we were in NYC in mid-November: if not Sundance, then will be other festivals.

Let's keep our eyes/ears open for it being screened at a festival in early/spring 2008. And keep our fingers crossed that it snags a strong distributor.

I'm REALLY surprised it wasn't included. The book on which is based ("Life is a Strange Place") is fun, cute, and even heartwarming. And, the movie's cast is amazing.

It definitely deserves recognition on the festival circuit!
