New trailers: HARRY POTTER and WATCHMEN
4 comments November 14th, 2008
Couple of new trailers for eagerly anticipated 2009 releases have hit the Web. They’re “exclusives,” so I can’t just post ‘em here, but click a link and you’ll be transported to Hogwarts and an alternate Manhattan.
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCEÂ – This is the real deal, a full-length trailer that should keep you interested until that countdown clock on the site hits zero.
WATCHMEN — This trailer focuses more on the murder plot of the story, and it looks like it sticks pretty close to the original comic book. (Several shots, lines of dialogue, and scenes are taken directly from the comics.) One big difference is the heroes refering to themselves as ”The Watchmen” — the word itself is never actually uttered in the comic, only glimpsed as half-visible graffiti.
One other interesting note: This comic book movie is getting an R rating, and a hard one at that. The box on the trailer says it contains “strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language.” In other words, I smell box office gold. (That nudity, by the way, is probably going to be a giant blue naked guy, just so you know.)Â
