Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I signed up for the new WB Blu-ray promotion and the (currently small) list of eligible titles with cover art showed Watchmen: Tales from the Black Freighter, but the date was listed at 7/28/09 (and we all know it's already out), so it's obviously just being used as a placeholder. Since that info is coming directly from WB's website, I'd say it's a safe bet that's when we can expect the film to hit.

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Seem to be the right time frame. 300 was a March film in theaters and came out on BD in late July from WB IIRC.
I'm looking forward to it. |
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Would make a nice birthday present for me ... I wonder if I can hold out for the Ultimate Edition that is supposed to be out in the Fall ...
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Snyder said they hope to show the extended cut in some theatres in July so maybe August will see the release of the extended cut...? I cant wait to see it again on BD.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Great news! Just a few days before my Birthday!
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I have a feeling if this date is correct it will only be the theatrical version. If so I'll probably wait until they release the extended cut.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Definitely waiting for some sorta extended cut or at least a bundle of theatrical, tales, and motion comic.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Like Valeyard and Yavin, this would be a very nice birthday present for me if true...

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Yeah, I'm not so sure Warner is going to be willing to put any more money into this (unless it was built into the contract with Snyder or something).
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I think it will go as planned. Don't many/most Hollywood movies these days plan/make more profit in the home release than in the theatrical?
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I believe they're referring to a theatrical release for a director's cut. The extended cuts will definitely hit home video.

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Mao says it's coming July 21st. Director's cut!
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I'm all over this.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
in without question! :up: for the heads up (i so rarely go to the dvd forum anymore :sad:)
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Yikes! That's the best they could do?
I'm still buying it, though. |
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Wow, I usually don't bash cover art but that is fugly.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Sweet!..this comes out the day before my birthday
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
This is my attempt at a better cover art. :P

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
How about just the yellow cover like the graphic novel?

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
There's a French company that owns the trademark on the smiley face logo. Supposedly Warner had to pay them to use it in th movie, but they can't (or won't) use it in the marketing.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Yeah, but the smiley has been on the spine on both the BD of Black Freighter and the Motion Comic.
PS: Will we still be able to watch the theatrical cut on this DC disc? I was hoping theatrical would be out first, with the DC later. |
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
hopefully they do it like Close Encounters, where they don't need a whole new disc to watch the different versions.

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Warner Bros. Warner Home Video has announced the technical specs and special features for the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'Watchmen: Director's Cut', which is due to hit store shelves on July 28, day-and-date with the DVD release. Video will be presented in 1080p VC-1 accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. The only version of the movie on this Blu-ray edition will be the director's cut, which is 3 hours and 10 minutes long, according to statements by director Zack Snyder. However, a standard-definition digital copy of the theatrical cut will also be included. Extras are as follows: * Maximum Movie Mode (BD exclusive) * Watchmen: Focus Points * The Phenomenon: The Comic that Changed Comics * Real Super Heroes, Real Vigilantes (BD exclusive) * Mechanics: Technologies of a Fantastic World (BD exclusive) * Music Video: Desolation Row (My Chemical Romance) * Digital Copy (theatrical version) * BD-Live The Maximum Movie Mode will allow split-screen viewing of "Watchmen" to focus on elements in director Zack Snyder's on-camera commentary. As we already reported yesterday, it will be possible to sync up the BD-Live functionality on this title with friend networks on Facebook. |
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
If Warner are smart, they'll do what Peter Jackson & crew did with Lord of the Rings - no overlap of extras between the regular and deluxe versions. This means that folk won't feel too bad about owning two editions.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Will probably just pick this up and pass on the Ultimate set later this yr, esp if it's the oversized gift set variety WB has been doing.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I think I'll just grab this version and skip the Ultimate as well... I have seen Black Freighter BD used for like $10, so I'll grab that (already got the motion comic) and this release and call it a day.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Really disappointed it's just the Director's cut. I'll probably wait.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Now Warner has sent out an email stating these releases are coming out on July 21st again. Which is it already?! :p
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
No Theatrical Cut? That's BS!
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Will wait for the ultimate editon...and hope it lets you choose between the Directors Cut and the Even more Directors Cut (with the black freighter footage)
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
Ultimate Ed for me with Black Freighter footage edited in.
|
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
I learned my lesson with Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. If I like a flick enough, I'll just buy it now as I may never see the uber-Ultimate-Special-Collector's Edition.

Gonna pass on Watchmen. Didn't look that interesting and I have no intentions of watching a 3+ hour film. |
Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
In The Digital Bits' My Two Cents for May 13, they list this as streeting on July 21 (and not 28):
For some reason, I listed the Watchmen street date as 7/28 in yesterday's post. It's actually 7/21, the same day as the new 300 Blu-ray. |
