Watchmen mini series Tales of the Black Freighter dvd release

Whether you are a super fan or a modest admirer of the Watchmen series you more than likely were engaged by the interwoven shorts Tales of the Black Freighter and Under the Hood.

If you were wondering or excited to see what Warner bros was going to do with these well you may be pleased to know that they have created them and are releasing them directly to dvd this Tuesday. I found it cheapest to pre-order it on Amazonand get it for almost 12 bucks cheaper.

The dvd features the animated Tales of the Black Freighter about a shipwrecked pirate played by the voice of Gerard Butler from Frank Miller’s movie 300. In addition there is Under the Hood, the live action tell-all of Nite Owl.

I am suprised they didn’t incorporate Under the Hood into the full length Watchmen movie but with Zack Snyder already pushing 2 and half hours I can understand why they didn’t. If you have not seen the trailers I posted them for you below.

If you can’t help yourself and you want this dvd then I suggest doing what I did and pre-order it at Amazon and save almost 12 dollars.  But hurry up the dvd release is tomorrow and after today the savings will be non-existant.
