Watchmen Hits The Streets.

Watchmen Hits The Streets.

The Watchmen marketing developer's have come up with some pretty cool promotional posters/mock adds for VEIDT ENTERPRISES & one for "Tales of the Black Freighter"(comic book)- these poster's might be in your City -(they look like real ads) & they are actully used in the Watchmen movie (you will see them all over the streets of New York)

So I went to my favourite Comic Book store The Silver Snail in Toronto,Ontario, Canada (Big Ups) & Lo' and Behold, What do I see on the brick-wall in the alley-way beside Silver Snail ?...."WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN" & "THE END IS NIGH" spray-painted in Watchmen colors and about 10/15 feet long , a poster for "Tales of the Black Freighter" comic book, plus a bunch of VEIDT ENTERPRISES "Mock Advertising" posters for random stuff that is referenced in the novel.
honestly This looked like a page right out of the book or a set design straight from the movie !(maybe I'm exaggerating,lol)

When I got home and seen the still-shot of Walter Kovacs aka Rorschach, picketing with "The End Is Nigh" sign in front of the news vender, I seen the exact same VEIDT ENTERPRISES ads on the side of a building & the same Tales of the Black Freighter poster is on the side of the News stand. Cool Stuff !!

I have to apologize my camera "died" while I was in the middle of a intense "photo-shoot" with a scummy old brick wall in a dirty alley-way on Queen street(lol)...the look's on people's face's, when they were walking past the alley (looking down from the street)& they seen ME, taking pictures of the wall, it was priceless believe me, but like I said my camera ran out of juice & I was alone, so I couldn't get the whole thing, I got the posters but only "Watche Watchm" LOL...but you know what's even more priceless?, the look on my face when I went on Silver Snails website & realized that they already had pictures of the wall and of coarse theirs were WAY better, so I put mine first & Silver Snails last. enjoy


Silver Snail is one my favourite store's in Toronto (if your every in Toronto, check it out),and has to be the best store-front ever !! Trust me there are a whole bunch of Heroes/Villains that you can't see (the door ways) SuperMan,BatMan,the Joker,Wonder Woman etc. Plus you can see Rorschach in the window display.









These Pictures are from Silver Snail's website:



See the posters on the News stand & the building on the right:

I'm not even sure that is advertising anymore. Think about it, only the fans will understand it, not a very good advertisement if most people just think it's silly graffiti.

I think Snyder just convinced them to spend the advertising budget on doing things like this for the fans. To make it more of an experience than just a movie. Which is just awesome.

WOW.. yes this IS targeted to fans-eyes only. We are witnessing a new era of Fan-Oriented-advertising for a movie event.

You know, i knew that for the Wolverine movie a few new pictures from time to time and the 3-part commercials were OK and good..but now, after seeeing WHAT these guys are doing with the Watchmen movie.. well, let´s just say that Hugh (since HE is on of the producers of the Wolvie movie himself) must really think of something BIG to launch the XMO Wolverine movie from here through may!!
