BREAKING NEWS: “Watchmen” feud is officially over, FOX agreed to let Warner Bro’s release the film!!!!!

Leave a comment

Oh my!!!! What a huge surprise!!! I guess the two studios, Warner Bros. and FOX didn’t want to wait for the Jan. 20th trial and set the deal early!! I’m sure all “Watchmen” fans are extremely happy now as I am myself. Warner’s and FOX settled a deal, FOX is allowing Warner’s to release “Watchmen” on March 6th as planned. Warner’s will NOT share any logos of FOX in the film, however, FOX gets share of the gross profits to whatever the film makes. The Jan. 20th trial will probably be dropped now that the deal has been made.

A few guesses on why FOX suddenly changed their mind on wanting to destroy the film……

1. Warner Bros. showed FOX a private screening of the film. FOX actually loved it too much that they think they can make good bucks off of this.

2. FOX realized that they would become the most hated movie studio if they did destroy the film, they want to avoid a public outrage by the “Watchmen” fans.

Either way, I’m so happy the film is being released March 6th and will see the film that day!! Glad this damn feud is all over with. It was all silly and lame anyways.

Report: Twentieth Century Fox to actually let Warner Bros. release “Watchmen”???

Leave a comment

This is really good news for “Watchmen” fans. Fox may have had a change of heart with Warner Bros. and may actually allow Warner’s to release the film!!! Warner’s and Fox are both in negotiations in hopes of releasing the film to proceed with the original planned March 6th release date. There maybe a possible settlement and might end the fued for good.

If FOX allows Warner’s to release the film, I’ll have a change of heart with FOX as well. Although FOX maybe coming out in good terms with Warner Bros. now, I still don’t trust them FOX assholes. It’s a good thing they’re doing and lets keep our fingers crossed if the film gets released. I really want to see it myself!!!

Report: Fox vs. Warner Bros. feud won’t end anytime soon, studios will still battle over “Watchmen”…

Leave a comment

Fox wants to battle Warner Bros. for the “Watchmen” movie? Well Warner Bros. studios is not backing down for a settlement or an appeal. Warner Bros. said, “BRING IT ON FOX”, the fight is still going on!!!

The Jan. 20th trial is still on and I too am looking forward to that day to see how that feud is going to play out. That Jan. 20th trial will be pretty heated. I’m sure the trial will be full of back and forth shouting.

I’m still feeling that WB’s will win, they’ll figure a way to buy the distrubition rights with good attorney’s.

Report: Judge wants Warner Bros. to settle “Watchmen” with Fox or make an appeal…

Leave a comment

Judge Feess says that Warner Bros. should settle with Fox or make an appeal, if they still want to release the March 6th picture of the comic book superhero movie “Watchmen”.

The “Watchmen” trial is still on for Jan. 20th however, WB’s must be prepared for a settlement. The Warner Bros. version of the movie could possibly still be released, but it’s now all up to FOX if they want it released.

Variety Reports:

If FOX allows Warner Bros. to release it, the film would have to be released and distributed under the FOX name with the Warner Bros. name not being used in the opening credits, that’s how I could see it being done.

It would be sad if FOX bans Warner Bros. version, just so FOX can make their own version. I really hope FOX will have a heart by releasing it under their name but I seriously doubt that will happen. FOX would want to make their own version of “Watchmen”, but we’ll wait and see what happens.

If FOX does let Warner Bros. release it, then I’ll have a change of heart with FOX as well. The Warner Bros. version seems like a lot of work and a high budget movie, it be a waste of money and waste of time for them if their version don’t get released at all. Lets cross our fingers if FOX will let them release it. If not, then boycott Twentieth Century Fox.

BREAKING NEWS: Fox wins feud against Warner Bros. over “Watchmen”, judge discovers Fox owns the copyrights…

Leave a comment

I’m usually never shocked and surprised by any news stories, but yes, I’m very shocked with this story. After a Christmas morning of unwrapping my gifts with family, I turn on the computer and the sad news that Twentieth Century Fox has proven once again they own the distribution rights to the “Watchmen” movie.

While the trial was pushed back to Jan. 20th, Judge Gary Allen Fees did some more investigation and that’s when he discovered that Fox owns “Watchmen”. The judge will give out a more detailed ruling of the film soon.

Warner Bros. never backed down, they continue to make and to release the film. The film was originally supposed to be released March 6th, but now it looks like Fox is going to win this battle, we may not even see the film get released at all.

Yep, I hate officially hate Twentieth Century Fox. Fox owns the copyrights to the movie, true, they have every right to do what they want, but it’s clear Fox could give a rats ass about Watchmen fans looking forward to the movie.

That’s what happens when your ego get so high up in your head, Fox are a bunch of shady and greedy morons anyway. It’s no surprise, ’cause Twentieth Century Fox is owned by News Corp. Rupert Murdoch is a greedy rich man and it would not surprise me if he had something to do with hiring Fox to battle “Watchmen” from Warner Bros. Rupert and News Corp are all douchebags. I’m dissapointed by this news.

Report: “Watchmen” trial date pushed back to Jan. 20th…

Leave a comment

A Los Angeles federal judge moved the Twentieth Century Fox vs. Warner Bros. “Watchmen” trial back to Jan. 20th. The reason is, Judge Gary Allen Fees announced, he had to handle a criminal matter on Jan. 6 which was the original trial date for “Watchmen”.

For those who had forgotten what this war is about, Twentieth Century Fox claims they own the rights to the “Watchmen” graphic novel written by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons so Fox can make it into a movie themselves. Too late, Warner Bros. already made the movie and Warner Bros. claim they own the copyrights, not Fox. Fox filed a federal suit aagainst Warner Bros., demanding that Warner Bros. not make the film and not release it at all. Meaning that Fox wants to destroy Warner Bros. “Watchmen” project forever.

Zack Snyder, the director of “Watchmen” has never backed down, they are still moving forward on releasing the film even if they have a lawsuit on their hands. “Watchmen” has already released another trailer and more posters, and the release date for the film is still March 6th, 2009. Warner Bros. continues to fight for their copyrights of the film.

I’m still feeling that Warner Bros. will win this battle all the way, so they can release “Watchmen”. Warner Bros. will be victorious. Hang in there, Warner Bros., keep fighting. FOX are a bunch of greedy assholes anyway.

I bought the “Watchmen” graphic novel by Alan Moore, a while back but haven’t read it yet because I’m still reading the “Twilight” series. I will start reading the “Watchmen” graphic novel soon though before the movie comes out. I want this film to be released. It would be sad if Twentieth Century Fox wins and if FOX took “Watchmen” away from us, I will never watch a film by Fox again if they win the battle. Warner Bros. has my support.

Report: 1, 2 Freddy’s coming for you 3,4 Better lock your door 5, 6 The reboot is a go 7,8 Shooting will begin this Spring 9, 10 Never sleep again

Leave a comment

Platinum Dunes is definitely moving forward to the “Nightmare on Elm St.” remake, as they just got the greenlight with Warner Bros. and New Line. “Cape Fear” writer Wesley Strick will pen the script. Shooting will begin this Spring right away, and they will film in the Chicago suburbs. The greenlight was due to the fact that the “Friday the 13th” remake has got positive feedback.

The question is, will Robert Englund be back as Freddy? The answer is no, of course, but it is possible that Englund will have a role but not as the Freddy character.

Expect Platinum Dunes to find an actor for Freddy Krueger very quickly since filming will start this Spring, so hope they find somebody good.

More on it here:

http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=8835

Hope they do a good job with the Freddy remake and hope they find the right actor for Freddy. Sure, there can’t be a Freddy movie without Robert Englund, but the dude is getting too old to play the character. My bet, is that I think they’ll find a Robert Englund look alike to play Freddy. It’ll probably be an unkown actor, not a big name star.

Report: Mayor of Batman, Turkey sues Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan for “The Dark Knight”…

Leave a comment

Did you know that there is a city named Batman in this world? Yes, it’s true. In the country of Turkey, there is a city there that is mostly an oil-producing city. The mayor is suing Christopher Nolan the director and Warner Bros. studios accusing them of using the Batman name without the city’s permission. The mayor is also blaming them for the high number of unsolved murders and female suicides in the city since the film’s huge success. The mayor will also try to prove that the city of Batman, Turkey predates the 1939 debut of Bob Kane’s superhero in DC comics.

Warner Bros. responded back saying they are only aware of this claim via the press, they have not yet seen any actual legal action by the mayor of Batman, Turkey.

This lawsuit won’t even go through. It’s also pretty lame and stupid. And on top of that, I don’t think it’s against the legal copyright laws to use the same town/city name as a fictional character.
