Watchmen Thames Projection

To celebrate the UK release of the hugely anticipated Watchmen movie, Dr Manhattan, the blue skinned, super-powered being, will rise above the River Thames to a height of over 70 feet and tower over all those who dare to attend.

This one-off spectacle will be created using the world's biggest water screen projector. The water screen, moored especially for this occasion in the middle of the Thames near the London Eye, will create an enormous vertical screen of water that will extend to 72 feet in height and 100 feet across.

Specially created never-to-be-seen-again Watchmen footage will be projected onto the screen to showcase Dr Manhattan's translucent and shimmering form in dramatic and gigantic effect.

• Watchmen is being screened on a 24-hour schedule at BFI IMAX in Waterloo.
