Watchmen : The Movie - Take Two

Now there is this huge controversy over the Watchmen movie. Grand.

Fox claims that some twenty years ago, they gained the rights to film and distribute Watchmen. The man who was working for Fox at the time, Larry Gordon, bought the rights himself and not in the name of Fox. 20th Century still insists that Warner Bros. has no legal rights to distribute the film, and the whole thing is being taken to court.

Rumor is, Warner Bros. has repeatedly offered settlements to 20th Century Fox to gain complete rights to the film, but Fox claims that it isn't about the money (I know in my heart of hearts that that is completely bogus, ie: everything Fox has ever done).

I'm sure that before the release of the film next spring or early summer, everything will be taken care, especially considering that Warner Bros. owns the film rights to all DC Comics, as well as any sister corporations.

We'll see.
