Fox wins Watchmen lawsuit. Fans get served.

by Crazy, filed in Uncategorized on Dec.26, 2008

For those who aren’t aware of whats going on in this case, basically Fox had the rights to the Watchmen in the 80s, but due to budgetary and technological constraints, they didn’t do anything with it. Fast-forward to today, they are suing Warner Bros. for an indefinite injunction on the movie being released in March claiming they still own those rights. Yesterday, news came out that a judge gave judgement in favor of Fox. What this means is anybody’s guess. What will most likely happen is that Warner Bros. will have to guarantee Fox a big cut of the future film’s earnings before Fox will allow the movie to be shown. They have until March to get this all straightened out or beware the fan backlash Fox will incur.

BARF.

I don’t know, there are still appeals, I imagine. I wonder what on grounds the court found in favor of Fox. Shouldn’t there be a statute of limitations on this kind of thing, and wouldn’t this be a bigger deal for Alan Moore, DC, et al for managing the rights to their own property more effectively?

Alan Moore is likely helping FOX, since the only thing he hates more than fans are movies.

I have now heard that this seems to be a move by Fox to force Warner Bros. to free up the rights of the 60’s Batman series so they can release that on DVD. If so, Warner is more than likely to acquiesce on that.
