Warner Bros. announced today that the Extended Directors Cut of WATCHMEN will have a VERY limited run, as in it will only be shown for one weekend (a week before San Diego Comic Con) in one theater in each of the following cities; LA, Dallas, Minneapolis, and New York City.

The Director’s Cut of Watchmen will be the same version available on Blu-Ray and DVD on July 21st.

Following the release, the director’s cut will be screened July 25th at Comic-Con at an event that is designed to be a BD-Live event, allowing any viewer in North America to watch the film along with the Comic-Con audience, and hear director Zack Snyder’s comments, and even ask questions.

Here is a bit from Live For Film about one of the scenes that will be found in the cut:

“I can verify that you will get to see the brutal murder of Hollis Mason by a bunch of top-knotted thugs. As with most of the violent scenes in WATCHMEN, Snyder has taken a dozen or so panels from the graphic novel and transformed them into breathtaking cinema. He’s also turned the sequence into a half-clever, half-heartbreaking homage to Raging Bull, with Hollis flashing back to his crime-fighting heyday as the “Intermezzo” from CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA briefly dominates the soundtrack. The music - and his punch-drunk reverie - ends abruptly when the gang’s ringleader busts open Hollis’s skull with his Nite Owl trophy. This is a brilliantly shot-and-edited sequence.”
