Video: Behind the scenes of 'Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter'

Yes, it may only be those of us who read the graphic novel that noticed or even cared that "Tales of the Black Freighter" -- the comic within the comic --  wasn't included as part of "Watchmen" the feature film.

No matter what you think of "Watchmen," the word around the net-o-sphere is that the animated adaptation of the Freighter story isn't bad (see this review at Robot 6).  The featurette above, courtesy of Empire, offers background on the creation of the animated project and its relation to the overall "Watchmen" universe.

Freighter features the vocal talents of Gerard Butler from "300" and will be released on DVD April 6.

Drop me a comment and let me know what you think.  Are you as interested in this as I am?
