It's War! Watchmen Production Obstacles May Be Prolonged, Fox To Squash Film!
Filed under: Film Flickers > Legal Matters
The film adaptation of Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen has been mired in production problems since the comic was published in 1986.
Years later, on the verge of release, Watchmen is facing production obstacles. 20th Century Fox is pursuing an order to delay the film's release.
Fox is claiming that it never fully relinquished the rights to the comic and so Warner Bros. Watchmen is copyright infringement.
U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess agreed with Fox and said that he plans on holding a trial January 20th.
Warner Bros. is putting up a fight, claiming that Fox isn't entitled to distribution.
Reminiscent of a comic book plot we will have to stay tuned to find out whether or not Watchmen will see its March release date!

Re: FreshKid – No dork, but monkeyman is loggin' on as we speak.
This sucks very badly as the trailers looked AWESOME.
However, why did they start production on a film they never fully had the rights for??
huh?
OLDER THAN OLD. Not only is this old news, but last week, the judge declared that Fox does indeed own distribution rights (to the disdain of anyone who gives a shit about Watchmen, though it's not like Snyder hasn't done his share of raping to the story. . .but I digress).
Way to be on top of it.
By the way, I find it fucking hilarious that so many people are acting as if they don't give a shit or "watchmen who?" These same people post paragraph-length tirades about Britney's panties, or Amy's physique.
Hilarious.
Oh for the love of God.
This movie looked kind of good.
Better than that new Underworld crap that is coming out.
That sucks. This movie looked pretty good. And as far as comic books go, watchman is one of the best.
That sucks. Watchmen is a brilliant graphic novel and I was seriously looking forward to this movie.
Well I thought that this movie was stupid…so whatever.
Fox Studios Suck. they haven't made a good comic film, in like ever. Now they are out to destroy a comic film with potential. They fucking suck ass!!!
I most certainly care about this!
FUCK FOX.
i dont think i can wait any longer, now that i read the novel!
OH JUST RELEASE IT ALREADYYYY! IM DYING TO SEE IT!!!!
