Release date and extended trailer for Watchmen Chapter 1

We return to the world of Warner Bros. Animation and DC with the first of the two works that take us back to the world of Watchmen.

Faithful adaptation of Watchmen, a comic published in 1987 written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, the first film is directed by Brandon Vietti (Batman: Death in the Family, Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman: Doomsday) and written by J. Michael Straczynski, with Gibbons himself involved in the project as a consulting producer.

Consisting of 2 chapters, Watchmen Chapter 1 will be available for purchase on streaming platforms from August 13.
