    Watchmen

    Team » Watchmen appears in 44 issues.

    Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The grouping of heroes and villains contained in the work are not, in fact, named "The Watchmen", though they were at one point referred to as "Crimebusters". Rorschach, Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan were the team's primary heroes.

    The scheduled hearing to deal with the Watchmen case has been canceled.  Fox and Warner Bros. were supposed to meet with the judge next Tuesday, January 20.  They have been in talks since Friday.  Speculation over the canceled hearing is leading everyone to believe that the two studios could be reaching a settlement really soon.

    We haven't heard any comments from the studios this week.  Back in 2005 it seems the same judge ruled against Warner Bros. in a case about copyright ownership for "The Dukes Of Hazzard."  That settlement cost Warner  Bros. $17.5 million. 

    If Fox does get a share of the profits, it seems they should cover some of the cost in making the $130 million budgeted movie.  The exact details when this is all over should be really interesting. 

    I'm still waiting until I can finally report that it's over and we'll be able to see the movie.  We will soon be the ones to watch the Watchmen?

    since they have already aired the commercials I'm going to assume that they have reached an agreement and plan to settle out of court

    Plus the fact that they aired on the Fox network as well.  They are in talks of settling.  It's just a matter of agreeing on a settlement.

    I want to see Rorschach take his can of hairspray, light it on fire and spray all these execs, lawyers and everyone else that has caused all this commotion over the release of this movie.  *sheesh*

    That's another cost they have to deal with, the cost of the lawyers.  Maybe there won't be much left of the profits after all this...

    UPDATE


    A "Notice Of Settlement Status And Request For Further Hearing" form has been filed yesterday.  We may hear something more final later today.  They still need to iron out some details.  Let's hope it all goes well and quickly.
