Watchmen: A Year and Counting

Watchmenclockdscn0966I opened a promo clock in the mail at work on Friday, for 300 director Zack Snyder's film adaptation of the Alan Moore classic graphic novel, Watchmen.

The official countdown has begun toward the opening a year from now on March 6, 2009. Snyder has wrapped principal photography on the mystery superhero adventure set in 1985 and now begins the long post-production process. Here is the official website.
