Warner Bros. recently released this great viral video of a faux 1970’s newscast for their highly anticipated film Watchmen. The movie hits theaters on March 4th.
UPDATE: There is now a New Frontiersman newspaper site, and Flickr set as well.

Cowrite is a new, open-source screenwriting competition that is encouraging participants to develop a community created movie script. Every other week the best ten-page script entry selected by the Cowrite judges will be added to the developing story until the screenplay is completed and ready to be sold.
Each submission costs $10, with “packages” available ($40/5 submissions, and $75/11 submissions). Every submission that is chosen and posted will win $2,000, and one winner will receive $5,000 at the end of the process to help rewrite the script and attend the 2009 LA Film Festival.
The premise?
Determined to be a high-level Jason Bourne type operative, an awkward teenager enlists the help of a mysterious, supposed ex-CIA agent in his hometown and finds himself entangled in a dangerous plot that is way over his head.
Hmmmn. The first ten pages will be posted on January 26th.
