Katee Sackhoff Introduces Clip from WATCHMEN: CHAPTER 1, Which Recreates Two Big Scenes

Here’s a clip from Watchmen: Chapter I that is introduced by Katee Sackhoff, and it sees Dr. Manhattan being held accountable for his past and Silk Spectre and Nite-Owl getting into an alleyway brawl.

This clip initially premiered at Comic-Con this weekend, but you can now watch it here. Sackhoff takes on the role of the younger version of Silk Spectre in the movie. 

The film is pretty much a shot-for-shot adaptation of the iconic Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel.

This is a CG-rendered animated film that is said to be a "leap forward for our DC Cinematic Animation," and the footage that screened at the Annecy Film Festival was described as "very vibrant."

In the film, "In an alternate world history set in 1985, the murder of a government-sponsored superhero draws his outlawed colleagues out of retirement and into a mystery that threatens to upend their personal lives and the world itself."

Watchmen Chapter I's cast includes Matthew Rhys (Nite Owl), Katee Sackhoff (Silk Spectre), Titus Welliver (Rorschach), Troy Baker (Ozymandias), Michael Cerveris (Dr. Manhattan), and Rick D. Wasserman (The Comedian). 

Supporting players include Adrienne Barbeau (Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre), Corey Burton (Captain Metropolis), Jeffrey Combs (Moloch), John Marshall Jones (Hooded Justice), Yuri Lowenthal (Wally Weaver), Geoff Pierson (Nite Owl), and Kari Wahlgren (Janey Slater).

Grey DeLisle, Kelly Hu, Max Koch, Phil LaMarr, Dwight Schultz, and Jason Spisak have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

The movie is produced and directed by Brandon Vietti from an adaptation by J. Michael Straczynski. Jim Krieg and Cindy Rago are producers and Dave Gibbons is consulting producer. Sam Register, Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin are executive producers.

Watchmen Chapter I will debut on Digital on August 13, with a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release following on August 27.
