Our good buddy Garth over at Dark Horizons got a hold of Zack Snyder, put him in a headlock, then forced him to spill his guts on his newest movie Watchmen. Whenever I think of Watchmen stories I have to post, that Depeche Mode song "Just Can't Get Enough" keeps popping into my head.
This is a long interview and I'm warning you now, there are some spoilers, but the spoilers are in a separate section of the article.
Here's a snippet:
Of course much of the online fan buzz lately has been about a test screening that took place a few weeks ago in Portland. Having gone through two test screenings for "300", the process is one Snyder admits he still finds "nerve-wracking", especially considering his track record - "We had the best test scores in the history of Warner Bros. with '300' and I kept telling them look the movie is not like 300, don't think that it is - it's not going to be the same experience. Some people are going to go 'what the f**k is this' and I go that's ok. That's the thing that you fight... The one thing that was cool was that anyone who had read the graphic novel who was at the screening rated the film 'excellent', for me I'm like 'I'm done'."
What's the final runtime? "I'm hoping 2 hours 42 minutes, with credits." That theatrical version however is just one of three versions of the film planned for the eventual DVD & Blu-ray release. There's also a three hour director's cut of the film with "the scenes all fleshed out", and the 'Black Freighter' version which will combine that Director's Cut with the 'Black Freighter' short film that will clock in at three-and-a-half hours. How the Black Freighter version will be incorporated and packaged is still undecided - "For me 'Black Freighter' needs its own box, it's packaged with like cool props from the movie and supplemental material. It's like this big thing you put on your shelf and go 'that's f**king Black Freighter' you know."

Anyone else keep getting that bounty hunter guy mixed up with Rober Downey Jr. ? From certain angles he looks EXACTLY like him.

Just don't make the "Black Freighter version" Blu only. DVD still matters!
