Originally intended to be featured within the Watchmen : Les Gardiens (2009) film, but was removed from the theatrical version once the time span of the film began pushing 3 hours. However, it can be found as intended in "The Ultimate Cut" version of the movie, which is 3hrs 35mins long.
Gerard Butler got his role in this after Zack Snyder couldn't find him a role in Watchmen : Les Gardiens (2009).
