HBO released a brand new official trailer for the HBO Original Series Watchmen. The highly anticipated series will premiere in Asia the same time as the U.S. this October exclusively on HBO GO and HBO.
Set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original ground-breaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.
Executive produced by Damon Lindelhof (“Lost”, “The Leftovers”), the cast of Watchmen includes Regina King (HBO’s “The Leftovers”, “Jerry Maguire”), Don Johnson (“Miami Vice”, “The Other Woman”), Tim Blake Nelson (“Lincoln”, “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”), Louis Gossett Jr. (HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”, “An Officer and a Gentleman”), Adelaide Clemens (HBO’s “Parade’s End”, “The Great Gatsby”) and Andrew Howard (“The Brave”, “Taken 3”).
Watchmen is based on the 1986–87 DC Comics limited series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It was previously adapted into a full-length feature film in 2009 by Warner Bros.
