Who watches the Watchmen?

I must admit that I have and unabashed love for the film 300. The graphic novel was good, but Zach Snyder took a great idea and made one of the funnest (is that a word?) and most visually exciting movies I have seen in a long time. His next effort is Watchmen, based on a graphic novel of the same name. Now before you just dismiss this as another comic book movie, realize this book is included on the Time magazine Top 100 Novels list. This puts it in the company of novels such as 1984, Lord of the Flies, and Animal Farm. The reason I bring any of this up, is the trailer has just been released and looks outstanding:

I love the minimal dialogue, and the Smashing Pumpkins track is perfect (though I doubt you will hear anything like it in the final cut). Since you learn nothing of the plot of the film from this, lets see what the all might wikipedia has to offer:

Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternate history United States where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union (the Doomsday Clock is at five minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who—with one notable exception—lack anything recognizable as super powers. Watchmen's deconstruction of the conventional superhero archetype, combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques and heavy use of symbolism, multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction, has influenced both comics and film.

Can't wait.
