There’s no denying it: This year, no movie is more anticipated than Watchmen. Between a massive marketing machine pumping the Internet full of teaser stills, posters and trailers and Sites the Web over (this one included) pushing every tidbit or factoid they can get into their grubby mitts – not to mention that it looks totally F’ing sweet – it’s become common knowledge that Watchmen isn’t just going to be good – it’s going to blow the doors off pretty much every other movie in existence.

It is almost not fair. This movie has been a cinematic c**k-tease for the last 2 years. It might be part genius and part greedy corporation, but the way they keep spitting out media info for this movie – it is just enough to keep your attention. I have still been waiting to see the giant exploding monster, the owl-mobile, Dr. Manhattan blowing more sh*t up, Ozymandias’ cat and whether they are going to make Rorschach extra ugly looking. I hope these photos will help keep your balls as blue as mine are. (more…)
Watchmen, one of the most anticipated movies of next year, is up against a villain no super hero has been able to defeat; litigation.
On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Gary Allen Feess, denied Warner Brothers motion for a dismissal of a lawsuit filed by 20th Century Fox, claiming Fox owned the exclusive rights to a Watchmen movie.
The basis of the lawsuit is Fox claims it acquired all movie rights to the graphic novel between 1986 and 1990. In 1991, Fox transferred some rights to producer Larry Gordon. Part of the agreement between Fox and Gordon was the option to shop distribution rights to other studios. If a studio were interested, Gordon would buy out Fox’s remaining rights to the film. Fox claims that Warner Brothers or Gordon has paid them for the rights. To make matters worse, according to Variety, Fox isn’t just looking for monetary compensation but to prevent Warner Brothers from ever releasing the movie. A crime to those eagerly awaiting the movie’s release on March 6, 2009. (more…)
