Arr! TALES OF THE BLACK FREIGHTER gets a green-light! The WATCHMAN DVD is already bad@$$!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I only was able to wrangle 5 minutes with Zack Snyder at Comic-Con, but in that time I made sure to dig for info on whether or not TALES OF THE BLACK FREIGHTER was going to make it into the movie or at least be shot for the DVD. If you've read the graphic novel you know there is a great subplot involving a young man reading a comic-book through the events of the story that strangely mirrors the events going on around him. It's a swashbuckling tale about a shipwrecked sailor who is desperately trying to find a way back home to warn of the impending pirate invasion (the very same who sunk his boat). He told me then that he was fighting for it, he wants to do it, but it's hard to talk the studio into justifying the extra expense of all that shooting and effects work. Now it seems Moviehole got a bit of a scoop in finding out that Warner Bros is coughing up the dough because they're so in love with the stuff they've seen come out of the production already. Good news for Snyder, but even better news for us Watchmen fans. That DVD is going to rock out! This one keeps looking better and better. Wonder who they're going to cast and I wonder how much money Warners is going to put into this segment. Thoughts?
