Warner Home Video has just announced two new DVD releases to accompany the theatrical release of the acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen.
Fans of the book have been nervously checking internet news websites for status of the recent legal issues surrounding the theatrical release. But now that all of that is over, let the celebrating begin!
The DVD and Blu-Ray discs will be released on March 24, 2009, and will feature the voices of Gerard Butler and other stars from the film. Extras will include a Story Within A Story: The Books of Watchmen featurette, and a First Look at Green Lantern.
From the official press release:
“Theyre in the book. And on this disc. From the director of Watchmen and 300 come two tales from the celebrated graphic novel that do not appear in the extraordinary Watchmen Theatrical Feature. Tales of the Black Freighter (featuring the voice of 300s Gerard Butler) brings to strikingly animated life the novels richly layered story-within-a-story, a daring pirate saga whose turbulent events may mirror those in the Watchmens world. Stars from the Watchmen movie team in the amazing live-action/CGI Under the Hood, based on Nite Owls powerful first-hand account of how the hooded adventurers came into existence. Two fan-essential stories. One place to watch the excitement. Watching the Watchmen begins here.”
