No ‘Watchmen’ until 2010?

No ‘Watchmen’ until 2010?

The legal debate over who owns the rights to Watchmen just gets worse and worse. Word from Cinematical is that Fox is pushing for a June court date, while Warner Brothers is hoping for April.

Umm, hello? The movie it set to release on March 6th, 2009!

Obviously if this giant scuffle isn’t resolved by the intended release date, it’s doubtful we’ll see it in theaters this March. And with the length that most trials go these days, and if Fox gets their wish, could it be the summer of 2010 before this movie actually is seen by the general public?

Fox to steal ‘Watchmen’ from Warner Brothers?

Fox to steal ‘Watchmen’ from Warner Brothers?

Talk about your bizarre and annoying legal cases, Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood is reporting that a judge has denied a motion by Warner Brothers to dismiss a lawsuit filed by 20th Century Fox over the rights to Watchmen.

I had no idea this was going on of course, because the way people sue each other over things as ridiculous as “coffee being too hot” annoys the crap out of me. I honestly feel like the legal system should start to recognize cases that are just there to waste our country’s time and money, and toss them to the curb.
