At the recent filming of MTV Spoilers featuring the Watchmen, director Zack Snyder confirmed that the extended director's cut version of the film will be released in theaters sometime in July.
"The director's cut is three hours and 10 minutes and comes out in July," Snyder revealed to the audience. When describing this original edit of the movie, Snyder described it as "considerably more violent than this ... and sexier."
Snyder also talked about the extended DVD which will be released in the fall. Dubbing it the "Crazy Ultimate Freaky Edition" Snyder said it will contain the 'Tales of the Black Freighter', Hollis Mason's death, extended dialogue scenes from the newsstand, as well as additional scenes of Dr. Manhattan's time on Mars.
