Fox und Warner haben sich außergerichtlich geeinigt und so werden wir Watchmen pünktlich am 5. März im Kino sehen können. Überraschung!
Warner Bros. and Fox have resolved their dispute over “Watchmen,” with the studios scheduled to present a settlement to Judge Gary Feess this morning and request that the case be dismissed.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but the deal is said to involve a sizable cash payment to Fox and a percentage of the film’s boxoffice grosses; Fox will not be a co-distributor on the film, nor will it co-own the “Watchmen” property, but it will share in revenue derived from it. The studios released a joint statement last night.

Haha, ein Kommentator bei AICN hatte diese wie ich finde lolz Sprüche dazu:
“It was just a matter of time I suppose…
*fan boycott gets thrown out the window.*”
“John thinks there’s going to be a settlement”
“What if that’s why someone wants the fans out of the way- so we can’t do anything to stop it?”
WB: “Why would I release a film…”
“… That I no longer have any stake in?”
“Watchmen. The movie almost died tonight”
“Somebody at Fox knows why.”
“”I heard Fox was working for the Government”
“Maybe it was a political killing?” “Or maybe someone’s picking of costumed hero movies.”

Auch gut war die Signatur, die einer im imdb-Forum hatte:
The world will look up and shout: Save us! And I’ll whisper: Why so serious?!

Hmmm, war nich was mit…
[Fade out - 3 Months ago - Fade in]
Fox’s legal team says it isn’t looking for monetary compensation and instead wants to prevent the big-budget film from being released altogether.

Surprisingly, Fox said it would rather see the film killed instead of collecting a percentage of the box office.

Finde ich gut, dass es heute auch noch große Unternehmen mit festen Prinzipien gibt ^^
