Watch part of ‘Watchmen’ right now, legally! Oops, not so fast …
The folks who worked with Watchmen director Zack Snyder to design the film’s gorgeous opening title sequence have graciously put the entire thing online for you to see at http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/watchmen/opening-title-sequence
Apparently, it was not quite as legal as I was led to believe. The video has been removed “either temporarily or permanently.” I can guess which.
At 04:35, in the lower left corner of the background, you can check out J.R. Killigrew as David Bowie. Recently I interviewed Killigrew about the “surreal” experience of working on Watchmen. The actor also played Link in an April Fool’s Day 2008 trailer for a fictitious movie based on The Legend of Zelda.
Killigrew will be in the Valley to show Manos Partidas, a short film he wrote, produced, directed and stars in, at the Phoenix Film Festival April 2-9 at the Harkins Scottsdale 101. The showtimes are 6:15 p.m. Friday, April 3, and 1:45 p.m. Saturday, April 4, with both screenings in Auditorium 3.
