Watchmen

HBO’sWatchmenis one of the most anticipated TV shows of 2019 , and also one of the most secret . Thefull - lengthWatchmentrailer released at Comic - Condoes nothing to wash the hype , while clueing us in a little more as to what we can expect .   That include some slender plot of land hint for Damon Lindelof ’s take onWatchmen , which sees   Regina King ’s Angela , a constabulary policeman , start wearing a masquerade party when the Rorschach cultus begins attack law - enforcement . It further suggest that Ozymandias is beat , while it ends with a big reveal of Dr. Manhattan on Mars . Slated as an original story set in the nowadays of theWatchmenuniverse , it ’s a world forth from Zack Snyder’sWatchmenfilm , and the trailer predict it ’ll arrive on HBO in October .

" HBO ’s Watchmenhas been an enigma for much of its maturation , and while I parsed from Damon Lindelof ’s cryptic clarification that it was a television sequel to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons ’ graphic novel , I was n’t prepared for how tightly wound it is . Laurie Blake , American Hero Story , rain calamari and the paying back of Dr. Manhattan : the Watchmen trailer shake off surprise in every grade , which is exactly what you want from an SDCC drone . Also , major props to the exercise of David Bowie ’s “ Life On Mars ” , a bromide selection made brilliant by how it clues you into the Manhattan reveal . " - Alex Leadbeater .

" I did n’t really need any further reassurances that HBO & BBC ’s adaptation of Philip Pullman’sHis Dark Materialswas go to nail the source material , but if you did then the SDCC preview should be just the thing .
