Watchmen Director Milks Fans for Material

Calling all Watchmen fans and aspiring auteurs: Here’s your chance to go down in comic book history.

Zack Snyder, director of the upcoming movie adaptation of the wildly popular comic, is inviting you to create a advertisement for a fake product — if it’s good enough, it could make its way into the movie.

Contenders just need to shoot their videos and upload ’em; YouTubers will vote on the submissions to narrow down the pool.

As many as 20  home-brew commercials could appear in the feature film, earning each creator a thousand dollars. Watch the clip (right) for a personal call for entries from Synder.

Watchmen is slated to hit theaters March 6, 2009.
