On A Timer

An update on the legal mess over Watchmen:



Fox is moving forward with plans to seek a court order to delay the March 6th release of the film according to The Associated Press.

District Court Judge Gary Feess last week ruled in favor of Fox which claimed Warner Bros. had infringed its copyright by developing and shooting the film.

Feess said Monday he plans to hold a trial January 20 to decide remaining issues. A Warner Bros.' attorney said that he didn't know if an appeal was coming, but thinks a trial is necessary and a settlement unlikely.

The Gaurdian 's Phil Hoad reminds me just how shaky Fox's '09 slate actually is--which sheds light on their possible motives moving ahead...

Again This SUCKS!!
