030609 -- Watchmen

Watchmen is an upcoming 2009 American epic superhero film directed by Zack Snyder. Based on the 1986 comic book limited series Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons,

Set in 1985, the film follows a group of former vigilantes as tensions heighten between the United States and the Soviet Union as an investigation of an apparent conspiracy against them uncovers something even more grandiose and sinister. The film began shooting in Vancouver in September 2007 for release on March 6, 2009. As with his previous film 300, Snyder closely modeled his storyboards on the comic, but he chose not to shoot all of Watchmen using chroma key and opted for more sets.
