Watchmen DVD Companion


In recent years many great movies have been been released with animated DVDs that also flesh out the overall story. It began with the Matrix Reloaded back in 2003. Warner Bros has mastered this. Come March 24, about 2 weeks after Watchmen is released, Warner Bros is releasing a direct to DVD story that fleshes out the story, based on a comic book in the film, called Tales of the Black Trailer. Gerard Butler lends his voice. Plus it will have a live-action in movie continuity documentary called Under the Hood. Here is how Reel Comix described it:

Under the Hood, chronicles the events in Hollis Mason’s life that led to him to become the masked avenger Nite Owl and discusses how the Minutemen were formed. It features the original Sally Spectre, the Comedian, Moloch the Mystic, along with Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl. Under the Hood is directed by Eric Matthies, written by Hans Rodionoff and produced by Eric Matthies and Wesley Coller. Stars Carla Gugino, Matt Frewer, Stephen McHattie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan appear as their characters from the theatrical Watchmen film in this live-action documentary style special.
