Screw The Dark Knight - Watchmen Teaser Trailer Looks Awesome

Don't even read this, just watch the teaser trailer below. Zack Snyder's Watchmen looks phenomenal, the trailer actually gave me goose bumps, and no trailer has done that since Joss Whedon's Serenity in 2005.

They are calling it "the most celebrated graphic novel of all time,” which is not a stretch. The movie set for a 2009 release stars: Jeffery Dean Morgan as Edward Blake, aka, The Comedian; Malin Akerman as Laurie Juspeczyk, aka, Silk Spectre II; Billy Crudup as Jon Osterman, aka, Dr. Manhattan; Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach; and Stephen McHattie as Hollis Mason, aka, Nite Owl.

Synopsis: There are like 6 plot descriptions on IMDB.com, you can read them all here. I just randomly selected one for no good reason.

An adaptation of Alan Moore's landmark comic book series, Watchmen is a story set in an alternative 1985, where the world is ticking closer to the brink of nuclear war, and a plot to eliminate a band of ex-crimefighters is instigated, but why? and by whom? It is up to two of those ex-crimefighters to investigate the plot that seems to go beyond the unthinkable.
