Based on this and the other post from a few days ealier, I'm guessing we see the Black Freighter chunks in the movie in the appropriate spots and then on the dvd we can watch them all together. Sound likely?
Anyway, cooooool. I'd be totally down with jettisoning all the Black Freighter stuff from the flick in order to winnow it down, but doing it this way makes me think it won't detract from the main storyline.

[Image] From darkhorizons, Scotsman Gerard Butler has confirmed to Empire Magazine that the animated "Tales of the Black Freighter" supplement in the original "Watchmen" graphic novel will be shot for the upcoming DVD release of the film.
The comic-within-a-comic tells the tale of a castaway's mental and physical deterioration and damnation as he tries to intercept a ghost freighter headed for his hometown.
"I'm going to do the voice of the captain. They're going to do it in the style of a Japanese anime and I'm totally stoked" says Butler.
