‘Tales of the Black Freighter’ to follow ‘Watchmen’ release
In order to bump DVD sales, Warner Brothers will be releasing Tales of the Black Freighter direct to DVD five days after Watchmen is released in March of 2009. One of the charcters in the Watchmen will actually be reading a ‘Tales of the Black Freighter‘ comic book. It will include a documentary type film titled Under the Hood which will go into the backstory of the characters in Watchmen. It sounds like a brilliant marketing strategy, if the movie lives up to expectations.
Watchmen stars Malin Akerman (27 Dresses), Jackie Earle Haley (Semi-Pro), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (PS I Love You), Carla Gugino(Sin City), Billy Crudup (The Good Shepherd), and Patrick Wilson(Phantom of the Opera). Zac Snyder of 300 and Dawn of the Dead is directing.
