@Ken J
Sorry for the misunderstanding I said Poor poor Fox because they really want to get a big check out of this as they had been sucking this last 2 year.

Glad the movie will come out when planned. I was starting to suspect Fox wanted to push it back for a summer release in hopes of getting more money.

I still don’t know what to expect with the movie adaptation (which hopefully means I’m less likely to be disappointed). Part of what baffles me is that they’re ditching the big “monster” in New York ending. After all, the production of the monster is an important part of the plot for the entire graphic novel.

The people at Fox are complete morons when it comes to making movies, like Lionsgate. But when it comes to making money, they seem to know a trick or two…

Legally, yes, WB was a bit sloppy in their legal department in not seeing this coming a mile away, but from a common sense standpoint, Fox was just holding on to the rights to this film for no reason. They should have just sold the rights to WB.

Fox did the right thing with that cancelled tv show Firefly. After they cancelled the show, and it was obvious they were not going to change their mind, Joss Whedon asked for the rights to the show and characters and Fox simply gave it to him. So he could persue other studios to see if any of them want to pick it up, eventually finding one willing to make it into a feature film. Too bad Fox didn’t do the same this time and too bad WB wasn’t more careful about the rights…

Might want to remove or change the first image in the article. Between that, and the ambiguous title, I got the impression that the decision was to cancel the release of the film.

Glad it’s on track for release, however. I’ve only read the parts of the novel that I could read in short bursts while visiting Barnes & Noble. Liked the complexity of thematic work.

If the movie sucks, its “Poor Watchmen Fans”.

I dont think it will suck, but I could care less about the two production companies

@jbrrex

??I think maybe you’re confused about this. What do you mean poor poor fox? Fox didn’t spend a dime to make this movie. WB did. Every penny it makes is all profit for them. So whether it does well or not, they will profit just from this payout alone… I think you meant poor poor WB??

Very glad that it’s still showing in theaters. I was pretty worried there but knew some way a deal had to made since WB was sure it was going to be shown that day.

It’s about time this crap ended, the only thing I was worried about was the release date, I’m glad nothing changed, considering this could be the 2009 Movie of the Year.
