Holy crap, it's Rorshach!

[ScottotD]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[gojikranz]

i really really hope this can be good.  i want to believe.  dont crush me again movies.

[Junkyard]

It'll suck.

If I turn out to be wrong, I'll mourn my misjudgment with a movie and popcorn.


But yeah, Hollywood has made a habit of removing anything morally complex from film. Expect schlock.

[Junkyard]

This Summer...
EXPECT SCHLOCK


... it kinda works.

I love that they reanimated Raul Julia to play the Comedian.

I don't like Zach as a director, and I feel when going for an "unkown" cast, rule number one should be hiring people who aren't barely known for doing crap. I'll watch it though. For when the comic was made, I suppose it was umm....ground breaking. Good read, for sure though.

Unknowns have bills to pay I guess.

[Cosmic Muse]

I don't know why but I started thinking of Welcome Back Kotter, not Watchmen, for some off reason.

[Tripe]

Yeah I think Rorshach's a little less excitable than a certian braying sweathog.

Of course it would be amusing to see Horschach as Rorshach.

DOES FOX'S EVIL KNOW NO BOUNDS!!!

A judge has denied a Warner Bros motion to dismiss 20th Century Fox's lawsuit over Warners' right to make a film based on the graphic novel "Watchmen."

Ruling is potentially a huge victory for Fox, which could wind up as a profit participant in the film, and could cost Warners millions considering the film's box office prospects. However, 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.

Project, which has been in development for two decades, finally began lensing in September with Zack Snyder at the helm. Warners was set to release the film, which stars Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley, on March 6th in the same slot in which "300" opened.

At the heart of Fox's suit, filed in February, is the contention that it never ceded rights to the property. And according to the federal Judge Gary Allen Feess, Fox retained distribution rights to the graphic novel penned by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons through a 1991 claim. Furthermore, Feess appears to agree that under a 1994 turnaround deal with producer Larry Gordon, Gordon acquired an option to acquire Fox's remaining interest in "Watchmen," which was never exercised, thereby leaving Fox with its rights under the 1994 agreement.

The court has asked the two parties for expedited discovery; generally the discovery process can take up to two years. Because the film has already wrapped and is dated for spring 2009, the judge wants to move forward quickly.

"We will be asking the court to enforce Fox's copyright interests in 'The Watchmen' and enjoin the release of the Warner Bros film and any related 'Watchmen' media that violate our copyright interests in that property," said Fox.

Surprisingly, Fox said it would rather see the film killed instead of collecting a percentage of the box office. "When you have copyright infringement, there are some damages you never recover," said a source close to the litigation.

Fox spent more than $1 million developing "Watchmen" but had not previously taken legal action against the project, which had been in development at Paramount several years ago.

Apparently Fox wants to be the most hated company in the US.

That's just outright bollocks.  They believe the film is going to make a couple of hundred million dollars and want in on it.

I can't believe this'll come to anything, though it might delay the release of the movie if the case drags on...

I don't know why exactly, but Hooded Justice makes me laugh.
