Is the nerd in your life worried? Has he seen the new teaser trailer for the movie The Watchmen and become anxious that it might not be identical, frame for frame, to the graphic novel? Is he already preparing a strongly worded letter to the Internet that will shake every major movie studio to its very core and make them very, very sorry indeed that they would dare to make a movie he will go to see only 15 times before buying it on DVD and Blu-Ray?
Fear not.
Empire had put together a scene-by-scene breakdown of the trailer, comparing it with the graphic novel, just to see how faithful it is.
It seems to be, apart from that owlish six-pack. We can all be thankful, I’m sure you can agree.
