Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN is prepared to dominate the box office come March (that's if WB and Fox settle their differences).

{sidebar id=1}First up, Entertainment Tonight had a special Watchmen featurette.

"The thing that people would always say about 'Watchmen' is it's the 'unfilmable' graphic novel," says director Zack Snyder ('300,' 'Dawn of the Dead'). "It was instantly viewed as a classic or a work of literature that was beyond its own genre, and it also ended up on the Time magazine list of the 100 greatest novels of the 20th century."

In theaters March 6, 'Watchmen' takes place in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society. The plot of the film is set in motion when one of their own, The Comedian, is murdered. Soon a conspiracy to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes comes to light. Will it have devastating effects on the future of mankind?

"Who is a superhero, and what does it do to you?" asks Snyder. "Does it make you crazy? Does it make you a recluse? Does it make you lose touch with humanity? These are all the questions that 'Watchmen' asks. It's about time that a superhero movie did that."
