We're a couple of weeks away now from the DVD and Blu-ray release of Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie, and as has been promised around the time of the theatrical release, there's a whole lot more on the way.

Out later this month is the theatrical release of the film, and there's also a director's cut version out at the same time. But for the full Watchmen cut, with the animated Tales Of The Black Freighter story woven in (the same Tales Of The Black Freighter that's already had a standalone DVD release, December is when you need to wait until.

Before we get into the detail, I like that Warner Bros has made this information available now. Granted, it's done so by including a leaflet in US copies of the Watchmen DVD, so some will only find out once they've bought the first disc, which isn't ideal. But it's not been a secret that a more integrated cut is on the way, and it's over at The HD Room that fuller details of what's coming up have been revealed.

The site has picked up an advance copy of Watchmen, and inside discovered the promotional leaflet, which not only reveals the longer cut, but also that Zack Snyder and Dave Gibbons will contribute a commentary track, and that there's over two hours of further bonus features included too. The promotional sheet also mentions the complete Watchmen motion comics, which also saw an individual release earlier this year.

To see the leaflet that Warner Bros included, head over to The HD Room. And that just leaves you to decide whether you want to end up with a couple of copies of Watchmen on your shelf, or whether it's worth holding of for the five-disc epic. Assuming you want a copy of the film, of course...
