The fourth Video Journal for “
Watchmen” has come online at
UGO. Original Watchmen artist
Dave Gibbons takes you on a walking tour through the production design of
Zack Snyder‘s film adaptation.
“Watchmen” is a mystery adventure set in an alternate 1985 America 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 – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.
When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?
“Watchmen” is scheduled to appear in theaters on March 6th, 2009.
