ET has your sneak peek at scenes from 'Watchmen'!
The huge popularity of Batman, Iron Man, Superman and Spider-Man on the page and on the big screen has demonstrated the enduring appeal of masked heroes and superheroes. But only one story dares to delve beneath the surface and ask the question: If the heroes watch over society, who watches over them? Now, ET has your first look at the highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of the critically acclaimed graphic novel, 'Watchmen'!
"The thing that people would always say about 'Watchmen' is it's the 'unfilmable' graphic novel," says director Zack Snyder ('300,' 'Dawn of the Dead'). "It was instantly viewed as a classic or a work of literature that was beyond its own genre, and it also ended up on the Time magazine list of the 100 greatest novels of the 20th century."
