'Watchmen' fiasco settled??? - Blu-ray Forum

Petra_Kalbrain · 10-23-2008, 03:00 PM

Have WB and Fox reached an agreement over the rights to producing the 'Watchmen' graphic novel as a feature film? If not, Warner Bros. may be digging themselves a deeper hole as they have released this new poster onto the net yesterday!!!

Being the optomistic type, I hope this is a good sign regarding the legal battle.

Nice Poster....R rating.

Hope this means everything is on schedule for next year.

I sure hope this get's release in March/09......

Let's hope we dont have to deal with another Hollywood money war.

Please get it settled. I can't wait to see this.

The two things that I like most about that poster are:

#1. THE DATE!!! They would have released this poster without a date if the legal issue wasn't at least on the verge of being settled.

#2. THE R RATING!!! That just means a ton of good for this content... not necessarily so much for the box office take... but still,

!!!

This might just be the first R rated comic book movies that actually break some records.

This will never see the inside of a courtroom. Two greedy movie studios fighting over a couple millions dollars in front of a jury of average middle class folks struggling to get by ... pfft neither one of them will win.

I think criminal cases get jurys, this would be a lawsuit so only judge.

Most civil suits are also jury trials. Judges tend to be a bit more critical and see things for what they are really are, juries are very susceptible to BS and theatrical ramblings of attorneys so they would rather take chances with the Jury.
