Over at firstshowing.net, they are reporting(via a reliable source at Collider) that Zack Snyder has confirmed that "Watchmen: Directors Cut" will indeed be officially hitting theaters on July 17th, the weekend before Comic-Con. He confirmed that it will only show for one weekend in one theater in only Los Angeles, Dallas, Minneapolis, and New York City.
Snyder said that they've made an extra poster to promote this re-release and will even be advertising it. As has been reported previously, there is at least an extra 25 minutes of footage, though I'm sure we'll get exact numbers closer to July 17th.
This is great news(for those of you living in those areas anyway), I am very exited to see the extra footage. As much as i loved the movie there are parts from the comic i wished they would have kept in, so im looking forward to seeing them, as well as a better paced movie overall.
