WATCHMEN Returns To Theaters With Director’s Cut

“Watchmen” the awesome comic turned kinda-awesome movie will return to theaters on July 17, 2009 in the form of its Director’s Cut. It’ll all be part of the hype for the release of “Watchmen” on Blu-ray and DVD, but sadly only in a very limited arena:

Readers who live in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Minneapolis – for you’re about to become the first people in the world to see Zack Snyder’s Director’s Cut version of Watchmen. All three hours and change of it.

Although the movie is set to come out on DVD and Blu-ray on July 21, with an additional 25 minutes of footage restored to Snyder’s dense, visually stunning adaptation of Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore’s classic graphic novel, Warners is rolling it out in cinemas in those four cities for one week only, from Friday July 17.

NY? Sure. LA? Sure. Dallas? Ehh, okay. But Minneapolis? Worst of all is that I’m going to pass through Minneapolis, not by choice, just before that. What would have been the chances? Apparently not good. Thanks a lot, Rorschach.
