With just a couple of months left before its theatrical release, the Watchmen movie is shaping up to be the gadget freak’s most anticipated film of the year. And being a proper nerd-o-rama, this means plenty of techy, viral marketing.
Above we see a photo posted on the Flickr page of The New Frontiersman, the right-wing rag featured in the comic book. Alongside is this caption:
Dr Manhattan photographs Neil Armstrong on the occasion of the Apollo moon landings, July 20th 1969
The best part? That Doc Manhattan is holding the camera properly. The Apollo missions took medium format Hasselblads along with them. These cameras have waist level viewfinders, so you hold them low and look into them from above. This is the kind of attention to detail that is getting us so juiced about the movie.
