So how many other people are still outraged by this? Sure Fox may have had the rights at some point but why did they never do anything with it? Funny how talk of this current film has been going on for a while now but it wasn't until the trailer came out and everyone started gushing about it that Fox decided to claim "mine." Guess we'll see who has more lawyers.
The battle between Fox and Warner Bros. over the rights to "Watchmen" took a big step toward resolution Tuesday when the federal judge presiding over the dispute set a Jan. 6 trial date for the case.
With a March release date looming, U.S. District Court Judge Gary Allen Feess said Fox should forgo any attempt to get a preliminary injunction against Warners to stop the release of the film because the issues were far too complex to be resolved on an interim basis, sources said.
