The Battle for Watchmen heats up.

The biggest superhero fight this year might not be on the screen. Warner Bros. is set to release its big budget superhero movie Watchmen soon. Now that they movie is done and ready for theatres Fox has filed a lawsuit claiming that Warner Bros. doesn’t have the rights to movie. Warner fired back saying that Fox knew they were making the movie and that they stood by and waited until they had shelled out over 100 million to make the movie before ever saying a word. The bottom line is really about whether producer Lawrence Gordon had been given the rights to the movie from Fox and was free to shop it elsewhere as Warner claims or if Fox still held the rights and really didn’t know Gordon was shopping it around as Fox Claims. I’m sure they will come to some kind of agreement. There is way too much money in superhero movies these days to shelve it for too long. |
