So what comes out next year that us Comic Book Fanboys and Fangirls have been both, looking forward to, and absolutely dreading? That's right! NOTHING. Fox has won the rights to the upcoming Watchmen movie according to
IESB.net. Now before you light your torches and sharpen you blades nothing is confirmed as whether or not the release date will be pushed back yet again or if the movie will be canceled altogether but I for one, am worried.
Warner created The Watchmen in 1986 and since then the book has become one of the largest milestones in the Comic Book industry as a whole. Now Fox comes along just months before the release of the movie and decides to claims rights to the title. Warner obviously pushed forward, ignoring Fox as much as they could, continuing their mass marketing of the movie. Back in the mid 90's Fox was given the opportunity to do something with the title (Why Warner did this I have no idea.) but they did nothing with it. So here we are now. Fox can potentially cancel the movie completely and piss off all of us and there is nothing we can do about it.
Unfortunately there is not much more to be said here other then...
F@#K FOX!
