The newest trailer for the upcoming Watchmen film has hit the web. It premiered as one of the previews played before Quantum of Solace.
The trailer itself is good enough to raise goosebumps. It honestly looks like this film might do the comic justice. But it’s also raised a bit of controversy.
In the voice over, the narrator says “The Watchmen are over” as if the name of the team of superheroes in the film were “The Watchmen,” but if that’s the case, it’s a deviation from the comic, in which the characters were split into two factions: the Minutemen and the Crimebusters.
Is this a classic case of the promotions department having no clue what the film they’re promoting is about? It would surprise me if it were, but purist around the web seem to be taking this slip up particularly hard. The matter is being debated across the blogosphere as well as in a number of forums.
