After a couple weeks the quiet consensus in the media was that the disagreement over the movie distribution rights for Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's "Watchmen" may be settled before the film directed by Zack Snyder (300) will be released March 2009.That continues to be the hope of fans, especially the ones I spoke with at Geoffrey's Comics last week.
The New York Times reported Saturday (Aug. 30) 20th Century Fox plans to seek an injunction to block Warner Bros. from releasing the film. What appeared to be something between studios could be something between Fox, Warner and even the fanboys and fangirls who are waiting with great anticipation for this film.
I mentioned previously - and it has been widely reported - there has been talk of boycotting Fox releases if "Watchmen" does not reach theaters. USA Today did a story last week on whether or not this could happen and if there would actually be fuel for such a backlash.
