Lower Manhattan Uncensored in HD Watchmen Trailer

You’ve seen the latest extended Watchmen movie trailer which premiered during the Spike TV Scream 2008 Awards, right? Did you see lower Manhattan?

For those of you who don’t know, Doctor Manhattan can alter his body’s size, and unlike The Incredible Hulk, he doesn’t have magical stretchy pants which grow and shrink with this power of transformation. The result is that Dr. Manhattan spends most of his days naked. And Zack Snyder didn’t try to find away around this for the big screen adaptation.

/Film reader Oscar comments that Dr. Manhattan can “control all matter, you don’t think he can make his own clothes grow the way does his body? He doesn’t wear clothes because he’s detached from humanity and he doesn’t need clothes for modesty’s sake and certainly not to protect him from the elements.”

And while I expected to see Dr. Manhattan’s full frontal nudity in the R-rated film, I never expected to see it on SpikeTV’s extended movie trailer. But Newsarama discovered that if you take a look at the high definition version of the extended trailer, and pause at the exact right frame, you can see lower Manhattan. Uncensored image after the jump.

    Alright! We get the cock-n-balls! I always wondered this about Dr. Manhattan though...

    Why didn't he make himself "bigger"? I'm sure he could.
  • Oscar
    Peter, he can control all matter, you don't think he can make his own clothes grow the way does his body? Besides, in the comics and in the trailer, you see him as a giant in Vietnam and he has his black trunks. He doesn't wear clothes because it would tear when he changes size. He doesn't wear clothes because he's detached from humanity and he doesn't need clothes for modesty's sake and certainly not to protect him from the elements. So in his mind, there's no logical reason to wear clothes except for the sake of other people which is why he wore a suit on tv.
  • Kyle
    Well put Oscar.
  • James
    Blue balls!
  • Haras Nilap
    Lower Manhattan is the absolute perfect pun. Good goin' Peter.
  • south texas terror
    That how they show him in the graphic novel. first people complain when they change something and now they are complaining when its true to the graphic novel.
  • I've been a nudist my entire life (23 years) and as a nudist, it's nice to see nudity in a mainstream film that's not sexual.
  • MrMad2001
    Not a big deal. No pun intended.
  • Aqualeo
    how will the MPAA not put NC-17 on this.
    I think its great they are not changing it from the graphic novel.
  • spinalbeatz
    This is absolutely funny.
  • He looks like Michelangelo's David statue. It's art, not pornography.
  • Alex
    I would like a download link to the 1080p version of the extended trailer.
  • MosesMonster
    I was going to say what Oscar said, but Oscar said it. Get the facts right Peter. Pick up the book, it's really amazing.
  • sooo that's what a cock looks like...

    honestly who cares?
  • septemer11th
    they can probably show penus because he is blue and looks like he is made out of clay in this shot. and although they may say its not sexual, you best believe im fappin hard
  • Fred
    The MPAA won't put a NC-17 on this because the full frontal nudity is not sexual and it's not even real. The character is made fully in CGI with the help of performance capture.
    It would be lame if they put a NC-17 because of some CGI balls.
  • A Better Class of Criminal
    Lower Manhattan... so that's what he calls it.
  • I really would preffer a pink naked girl called Miss Miami. Don't you??
  • zinkywinks
    The amazing thing is that some CGI artist took the time to construct a cock
  • Captain Awesome
    I'm happy to see comic fans are getting the type of dong they have always wanted.
  • cib3k
    So am I the only guy who doesn't like seeing other dudes' packages on display like this? One of the reasons I disliked Forgetting Sarah Marshall was because of the full frontal male nudity. Like Mike Myers once wondered in Wayne's World 2, "didn't you think it was a trifle unnecessary to see the crack in the Indian's bottom?" I understand why some people would like seeing this and why others would rejoice at the taboos being broken, but I still find it disgusting. It's just an emotional response. Guys should keep their dicks off-screen.
  • fab
    olivia is a nudist...yay
  • LOL... "Lower Manhattan."

    Dude, I *guarantee* you've just created a new catchphrase for this movie.

    You heard it here first! ;-)

    Vic
  • So... why are we excited to see a blue penis?
  • Hendo
    I'm surprised that spike aired this lol but I'm also glad that they didn't edit it out of the movie strictly because having read the GN, I'm hoping that they stay as faithful to it as possible. btw, @screenrant, Newsarama used the term Lower Manhattan last week
  • Hendo
    Frank, I think it's really just the fact that he didn't edit it out of the movie to make it more family friendly in the studio's eyes
  • starscream9289
    Man screw that, I wanna see Silk Spectrum's tits!!!!!! I haven't had the chance to read the novel yet. Do they show tits?
  • Jonathan
    @ cib3k

    I assume then you don't appreciate art like David or half the things by Michaelangelo
  • El Bart-O
    So much detail....
  • Adam
    I was wondering about this when I first saw it. They blurred the other shot, so this was rather surprising.
  • whatever
    I've just seen a blue dick. I don't have any thing left to do before i die now.
  • h2opr00f
    I really hope some of the CGI (especially with Manhattan) is early and they are going to be doing major touch ups.. some parts look really good.. like in the theatrical trailer where there are 3 of him..
  • MovieJunkie88
    @ cib3k

    dude u are such a homo-phobe. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was an awesome ass movie, i mean just hilarious. but u dont like it cuz of the male nudity? dude if thats all u think about when u watch it then u have other problems u need to sort out.

    my best friend isnt going to see Watchman. why? not becuz of male nudity but becuz he wants to read the graphic novel first. u are just one of those small minded people who can't enjoy a 2 hour movie becuz of something in the movie that lasts like a few seconds. jeez. fucking idiots man
  • Fir3Wolf
    @MovieJunkie88

    Actually hes not naked for a couple of seconds, most of the time he is naked and you do see full frontal. Now he could probably cut it out to barely show anything but in the comic you saw it a few times lol. Oh and the movie is 2hrs and 48mins not just 2hrs.
  • Oh no, other men will have to learn what other men look like naked.

    Thank you, internet.
  • Sebulba
    Looks like Silk Spectre is having an orgasm. Nice.
  • marz
    this gives a whole new meaning to blue balls!!
  • You can see the silhouette of Silk Spectre's nipple in the trailer too...
  • Roberto
    God damn, how old are you people? Is there a comments section for grown-ups and non-virgins?
  • w smith
    that dudes ab muscles are out of control. Zach Snyder seems to have some sort of ab muscle fetish. Dr. Manhattan looked like an athlete but not a body builder in the comic - looks like Hollywood has over done it as usual.
  • Rev. Lovejoy's Wife
    What about the children!!!!!!
  • Something for the ladies...and hopefully boobies for the guys?
  • south texas terror
    In the graphic novel they do show nip, when owl II and silk II on the couch with the tv on.
  • BlackjackJohnson
    i'm not as interested in Lower Manhattan as i'm interested in the fact if this is really a shot from the film's climax, as i assume...
  • Trace
    I posted a comment about this on FSR when they put up the HD trailer last week. None of the comments afterward make mention of it, so I suspected I was the only one that saw it.

    That doesn't make me gay, does it? I noticed a blue dong - big deal... right?
  • Rammstein
    @BlackjackJohnson: I'm with you on this.

    *** SPOILERS ***

    Is this the part where the huge squid is/should be? Cause I don't see any tentacles. I guess the whole Nuke-instead-of-biological-organism rumor wasn't rumor at all. Meh. Guess you can't win 'em all. Atleast the movie is almost 3 hours!
  • Bwk
    but will it blend?
