Violence, language.

An action-packed trailer has been released for Watchmen, the new HBO series produced by Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers).

Based on the graphic novel co-created and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and is set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws.

It features Regina King, Jeremy Irons and Louis Gosset Jr. plus Frances Fisher and Don Johnson.

This will screen same day as the US on FOX Showcase.

Written and executive produced by Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers) and directed by Nicole Kassell (Westworld, The Leftovers), the 10-part series embraces the nostalgia of the original ground-breaking graphic novel of the same name, while setting out to break new ground of its own.

Nine Inch Nails musicians Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have created the original music for the series.

Watchmen is produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros Television.

Monday, October 21 from 12.00pm AEST on FOX Showcase.

  1. If the trailer is any example viewers should ramp up the nits of their UHD TV to see anything through the darkness and shadow. Even after taking into consideration that dark photography is almost the norm now in superhero and horror shows a calibrated state of the art OLED TV is about the only way you will see any detail. GoT was criticized for a lack of diffuse lighting photographing its big budget scenes especially for those who have less capable TV’s, Jackson’s Lord of the Rings did these type of battle scenes visually a whole lot better.

  2. Hopefully better than the movie, which retrospectively wasn’t too bad if you don’t include the topic of most dislike. Unfortunately that topic is a base for the movie, and as a result a flimsy foundation causes the movie to fall.
