To celebrate the Paramount Pictures UK (Warner Bros in the US) release of the hugely anticipated and revered Watchmen (in cinemas tomorrow), at exactly 8pm GMT Wednesday, London's River Thames gave birth to a Watchmen spectacle that was beyond the imagination. Dr Manhattan, the blue skinned, super-powered being beloved to all Watchmen fans, rose above the murky depths of the Thames to a height of over 70 feet and towered over all those who attended.
This dramatic, one-off spectacle was created using the world's biggest water screen projector. The water screen, moored especially for this occasion in the middle of the Thames between the London Eye and The Shell Building, created an enormous vertical screen of water that extend to 72 feet in height and 100 feet across. Specially created, never to be seen again Watchmen footage, was projected onto the screen to showcase Dr Manhattan's translucent and shimmering form in a dramatic and gigantic effect, this really was an excellent and exciting medium to see Dr Manhattan in all his super human glory; and to watch him hover over the city in true Watchmen style.
