Extended Watchmen Movie Trailer from Scream 2008

An extended movie trailer for Zack Snyder’s Watchmen premiered during the Spike TV 2008 Scream Awards tonight. Check out the trailer below. For those of you who might complain about the lack of new footage, Watchmen Comic Movie has an extensive listing of the new shots. My two favorite shots are when Nite Owll II and Silk Spectre II kiss in slo-mo as a mushroom cloud explodes behind them and the extended cut of The Comedian thrown through window. What did you guys think?

    Damn, i wont be able to watch it till tomorrow, this sucks lol, Ive been dieing to see more footage,maybe a little glimpse at the Mars scene with Doc Manhattan
  • south texas terror
    Im guessing the squid wont make an appearance
  • McGruff
    Just finished reading Watchmen for the first time last night. Wow. I flew through the last 150 pages without stopping. I really hope they dont screw up the ending too much. maybe the screening they just had really did have a dummy ending?
  • Thanks for the reminder. Just set up the DVR to record it.

  • Sources tell me that The Dark Knight will rule this awards faux-show. Faux-show. Fo' sho'? Fo' sho'! Neato.
  • Thanks God I have my old faithfull Download Helper...
  • dlb
    I'm betting its the comic con footage

    I hope its not the smashing pumpkin song... just put the Philip Glass track in there
  • jlr73
    HOLY SHIT!!! They just played it...gave me goosebumps. Squid or no squid, this film is going to be amazing...
  • Yea, looks like the nukes are in, and the dead tentacle vagina that thinks hard enough to kill everyone is goner. still, looked freakin awesome!
  • Patrick Bateman
    @OMGrant

    The nuke that was shown near the end with SSII and Nite Owl II kissing was a part of Nite Owl's dream in the graphic novel, if you've forgotten.

    But anyway, can somebody PLEASE post that thing, I've been checking youtube nonstop..
  • Will
    yeah who knows. maybe the watchmen will but the new bladerunner and have a million different cuts. new footage was so awesome though!

    march can't come soon enough.

    That footage was amazing.


    The part where nite owl has his back turned in front of the owl ship and his cape is blowing gave me goosebumps.
  • Emmanuel Munoz
    OMGrant:
    I am pretty sure that the scene they showed with night owl and silk specter is actually a dream that Night Owl has. and yes i do know that they are going with the nukes instead of the giant squid monster.
  • Jaybee U Tler
    wtf is up with spiketv's camera's? did they spend their production budget on building a time machine so that might steal some tv cameras from the 70's??????

    Picture looked blurry, grainy and oversaturated as all hell. get your act together, spike!
  • Benjamin Wright
    The new footage.......looks exactly like the old footage. Honestly, I'm becoming less excited for this adaptation as it goes along.

    Maybe Alan Moore was right.....
  • Aeghast
    Very Nice!!! :D
  • Greyson
    About 60% new footage. Haven't seen most of this from the original trailer.

    The scene where he dissassembles the tank was freakin' great!
  • Brian
    @Benjamin Wright

    yes it looks the same, it's from the same movie

    i would be worried about the competence of the people involved if it looked like more than one movie edited together
  • duca
    I really enjoyed the new footage, although I wish it wasn't crappy YouTube quality. Hopefully it'll be 'officially' released soon.

    I just can not see Snyder changing the ending. This whole time he has been completely adamant about not changing it. He has even been qouted as literally saying he did not change the ending. The guy has been so damn good about every single little tiny detail for him to have gone and screwed up something THAT huge just seems ridiculous. The whole point of the giant squid was to avoid nuclear detonations, so how would causing them fix that exactly? It's just not logical.
  • Patrick
    Favorite part: When Rorschach shoots himself up to the Comedian's apartment and lands on the window sil. Talk about an entrance!
  • Snyder will be faithful to the source material, that's for sure.

    Anyways, am I the only one who thought the effects looked really meh on such a small screen? I am sure it will be incredible in IMAX when it's released.

    Also, will this be the same trailer attached to 007?
  • Pill
    Looks pretty good. I could care less if they changed the ending, as long as it delivers the same idea, that's the main part. The squid monster was ridiculous and seemed unconventional in a bad way.
  • brian
    awesome new footage.

    the only thing that looked slightly odd was when Manhattan destroys the tank. that looked cheap as. almost like it was a temp shot, yet to be fully completed. did anyone else think the same?
  • krackajap
    The Scream awards made me feel i was going blind. Couldn't stand it.
  • Kal
    Anyone who doesn't praise God and Zack for getting this movie "right" should be barred from ever seeing it. If I have to miss seeing the "squid" to see even a minute of Rorschach being his bad ass self then its worth it to me. Quit yer bitchin and just prepare the sweetest peice of geekdom since the Dark Knight or Iron Man. Its a good time to be a fanboy so can we all just get along? Who watches the watchmen? I WILL BE!
  • dlb
    I sat through those damn "awards"

    what a terrible show
  • Girl Fan
    I am willing to give my kidneys to see this movie!
  • Fir3Wolf
    Looks great and I am more excited every time I see things about it. A bit bummed about the whole ending change issue but I'm sure it will be an amazing film.
  • Agent J
    Yeah, dudes I'm stoked for this.
  • prophecy_projectz
    Not much new footage and still no dialouge. Add to the changed ending and Im still skeptical.
  • loved that last shot
  • Tobi
    Looks great, Not surprised,
  • Reggie
    This looks visually amazing. I absolutely loved the shot where Patrick Wilson and Malin Akerman kiss with the bomb going off in the background. Beautiful use of discordant colors with the green/orange.
  • 790
    Brian, im thinking that Manhattan not only disassembled the tank he also vaporised most of it.....

    What was cool if you attended the Scream Awards , is that they had the actual Owl Ship on the Red Carpet.
    You could see it fully litup and functional. It looked very cool..........

    Reggie I also agree that was a great shot, with the nuke in the background. I also loved it when Night Owl jumped out of the Owl Ship as it was flying.
    You could see the escape hatch in the Owl ship,,, very cool.......
  • Derek
    it looks amazing, I cant not wait.
  • Constantine
    this movie looks fucking incredible, and i personally think that they did use a dummy ending when screening it to people because Zach Snyder doesn't really change his comic book adaptions. I dont no this for sure but if u look at the 300 movie vs. the comic it was like, line for line the same thing. I hope they keep the squid man it was awesome.


    oh and 790, the ship is called Archie, just fyi
  • Josh
    Who would complain about a lack of new footage. That trailer was comprised of a majority of completely new footage. Anyways, looks amazing.
  • Patrick Bateman
    What I loved:
    *Nite Owl/Silk Spectre kiss with mushroom cloud in the background - I really didn't think Zach would include the dream sequence..
    *Comedian through the window
    *Archie in Antartica
    *Manhattan's hand coming through the window to get Veidt

    What I didn't like:
    -Rorschach's movements... was it me or did he just seem very Spiderman-esque?
    -About 80% of that trailer were shots of Silk Spectre II.
    -Hopefully Dr. Manhattan's VSX are not done yet, because during that scene with the tank.. it looked like something I could've conjured up on PowerPoint '02.
    -Smashing Pumpkins song... should've played the Phillip Glass song used in Comic Con footage or the actual score from the film by Tyler Bates
  • Ben
    I;m not sure what's with the complaining about not much new footage. There was a lot more new footage than I was expecting.

    You have to take it for what it is: A little promotional teaser to try and make the awards show seem more important than it was and not a full-blown trailer.

    Wait until a new theatrical trailer is released.
  • I enjoyed that but I think I want a proper trailer now. QoS here I come.
  • McGruff
    oh and the tank looked INCREDIBLY cgi. they should have saved that shot til it was finished. felt like a cutscene from a videogame. other than that, hot shit!
  • Justin
    zzzzzzz

    overhyped
  • Mikey M
    Wasn't this movie held up in court?
  • greycolumbus
    Meh, I already saw the mushroom cloud dream sequence.

    I should really get back to reading the Watchmen, though. I can't believe I haven't finished it. This romantic sub plot is boring me to tears though. But they usually do in all forms.
  • A Better Class of Criminal
    Looked very good... I'm very excited to see this.

    I have to agree though... the tank scene was either not finished or just a really, really bad shot.
  • Mcgruff
    Hey Peter,
    any news on the progress of the Watchmen lawsuit? Going to be released in march still or no?
  • joey
    anyone that refers to watchmen as "the watchmen" is not a true fan of this graphic novel or film.
  • giantyoda
    Spiffy...looking forward to seeing some more.
