Awesome New Watchmen Teaser Poster

The official theatrical Watchmen teaser poster has premiered on Yahoo. If you remember correctly, Zack Snyder premiered a Comic Con exclusive teaser poster with art by Dave Gibbons in 2007, and there were also eight character posters at Comic Con 2008.

The new poster shows the shot from the early few minutes of the movie (and the frames of the comic book itself) when The Comedian (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is thrown through the window. While he falls to his untimely death, the Happy-face pin with a smidgen of blood flies through the air behind him. It’s probably one of the coolest pieces of footage they have shown yet. If you didn’t see the extended movie trailer from the SCREAM 2008 awards, click here now.

    The poster says the film is rated R, but I can't see the specific reasons... what are they?
    I wasn't even aware it got a rating yet.

    A Better Class of Criminal,

    It says strong graphic violence, sexuality(i think), nudity, language.

    @ Krackajap

    Finally... nudity and superhero action together at last.
    This could change my entire perspective on life!
  • Cool...reminds me of Fight Club meets The Dark Knight.
  • Alec
    Really cool. I think it will appeal to the masses, but, in my opinion, I thought the character posters were cooler. This is good too, though.
  • dlb
    I really really really really hope that they use that Philip Glass song that was used in the Comic Con footage...
  • krackajap
    So...if it's rated R...does that mean we get the blue penis?
  • Joe
    I'm sick and tired of these motherfucking children who think a movie will be great just because it had a cool trailer and is rated R!

    And those fucking snakes, goddamn!
  • Christopher Marc
    I hope they keep coming out with more posters, they seem to get better and better...
  • Captain Awesome
    krackajap,

    Snyder has said many times you will see his genitalia. I've never seen such a big male demographic so excited to see blue male genitals.
  • Rob
    Nice poster, strange choice of strapline tho. Not seeing the relevance of "justice" to the motivations for the Comedian's murder, and I've never felt the overriding theme of the comic was about justice being handed out.

    Still, it is just a promo poster. Roll on the filum...
