IT might almost be over between former HBO original programming president Chris Albrecht and his fiancée, Karla Jensen. An insider told Page Six, "They broke up like two weeks ago. She moved out of the house and he is already trying to be set up with other women. He's out of a job and bored - what else is he going to do?" Albrecht left HBO last year after he was arrested in Las Vegas for choking Jensen following a boxing match. While Jensen refused to press charges, Albrecht pleaded no contest to battery charges. He then headed over to IMG as head of media development. He was let go in August, only one year into his three-year deal. A friend of Albrecht said, "They're still dating. Karla is living in a separate house, and they're in couple's counseling together. Albrecht himself told us, "We've had our difficulties and are trying to work things out."
The theatrical trailer for Watchmen is online at last, and it gives us the best taster of how the film will play to date. Opening, as does the novel, with the murder of the Comedian, we see all the action high-points touched upon - and there are even a few hints this time that it's actually quite a talky plot.
Click here to watch the theatrical Watchmen trailer.
The interesting thing about this trailer (OK, the geeky thing) is that our group of retired costumed heroes refer to themselves as "Watchmen" - a change from the book, where the group is barely named but, if it was, would be the Crimebusters. Still, if it helps the title make sense to the uninitiated, that's no bad thing. Look out too for the first real interplay we've seen between Doctor Manhattan (Billy Crudup) and Silk Spectre (Malin Ackerman), and the first dialogue from Ozymandias (Matthew Goode).
