Zack Snyder's last project was 300 which was visually breathtaking and an international box-office success. He seems to like the graphic novel adaptations as now he's set his sights on bringing to life the creative genius behind Allan Moore and Dave Gibbons' 1986 comic book limited series of the same name. Watchmen (view official site here) stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Stephen McHattie and Carla Gugino; it is set for release in March 2009.
The 3rd trailer is also spectacular and worth checking out as it gives a little more insight into the plot for those unfamilar with the comic book series (myself included).
Malkin Akerman, besides being a hottie, also has a few funny bones. Check her out in Heartbreak Kid, and also this clip of her from funnyordie.
