WATCHMEN: Puttin’ on the Squid

An intense teaser for my upcoming Fanedit of WATCHMEN (2009) thats gonna be called WATCHMEN: The Ultimate Graphic JayXtended Squid Cut (Open Matte).
Here you see the squid from the Watchmen Comic crawling back into the movie (in Snyders version isn't any). In this part are only glimpses but as the movie progresses you'll gonna get be the full beast too. This is achieved by using the 2009 version and mixing it with parts of the Watchmen TV Show and with parts of the 2024 anime version of Watchmen.

Again this sequence is a also nice example for mixing the theatrical aspect ratio with the fullscreen open matte.

One more thing , if you know the movie you'll know that the Scenes at the newspaper stand are playing at daylight. In the comics it's 35 minutes to midnight, what the TV show and the anime version correctly displays. To get the continuity right I color corrected the scenes to make them look like nighttime.
