DVD Details For 'Under The Hood' And 'Tales Of The Black Freighter'
According to Warner Home Video, Warner Bros. will release Watchmen: Tales of The Black Freighter & Under The Hood on DVD and Blu-ray on March 24.
The stories depicted on the DVD release are directly lifted from the original Watchmen graphic novel created by Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons.
Warner Bros. released the following statement on the supplemental DVD release: "They're in the book. And on this disc. From the director of Watchmen and 300 come two tales from the celebrated graphic novel that do not appear in the extraordinary Watchmen Theatrical Feature. Tales of the Black Freighter (featuring the voice of 300's Gerard Butler) brings to strikingly animated life the novels richly layered story-within-a-story, a daring pirate saga whose turbulent events may mirror those in the Watchmen's world. Stars from the Watchmen movie team in the amazing live-action/CGI Under the Hood, based on Nite Owl's powerful first-hand account of how the hooded adventurers came into existence. Two fan-essential stories. One place to watch the excitement. Watching the Watchmen begins here."
The DVD and Blu-ray releases will also include the extra features of the "Story Within A Story: The Books of Watchmen" and "A First Look at Green Lantern."
Warner Bros. will release the Watchmen movie in theaters on March 6.
