To coincide with the recent release of Watchmen in theaters, an amazing film by the way, Warner Bros. is releasing an animated home movie to the film entitled Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter! It will be released March 24th on Blu-Ray and DVD. Here’s a little info on what you can expect from what sounds like an awesome inclusion to the Watchmen collection:
Tales of the Black Freighter is an amazing animated short film that brings WATCHMEN’s comic-within-the-comic to life! Narrated by 300’s Gerard Butler, Tales of the Black Freighter is a gut-wrenching tale full of pirates, sharks, and doom & gloom that foreshadow the coming events of WATCHMEN. It definitely puts the “GORY” in allegory. Needless to say, it is a must-have for all WATCHMEN fan boys (and girls). The disc also features another short, Beneath the Hood, which provides a back-story of Hollis Mason – the original Nite Owl superhero in the WATCHMEN universe.
