Update on Watchmen Videos (Yes, it's a plural!!!)

Here's the link to a great article at the RopeofSilicon site about the DVD plans for Watchmen. It is a sample of the info found in articles noted on several other sites.Big News!

Currently the plan is to have the animated story-within-the story "Tales of the Black Freighter" released on DVD five days after Watchmen opens in the theater on March 6, 2009. Gerard Butler will provide the voice for the main character.

That DVD is expected to include a backstory segment on the Watchmen characters entitled "Under the Hood" (Watchmen readers will recognize that phrase.)

Then, the Watchmen DVD will be released in July 2009 (I would think that would be in conjunction with the annual San Diego ComicCon).

Then, holiday season 2009 an Ultra DVD release with the Watchmen and "Tales of the Black Freighter" edited together as one movie--just as it is in the Watchmen graphic novel.
