It was announced today Watcmen will proceed with the March release date after Warner Bros. and Fox have reached an agreement over the rights of the movie. To make a long story short, Warner Bros. messed up, and made a movie they did not have the right to make; as a result, they paid Fox an undisclosed amount of money (a crap-load to be specific) along with a percentage of the gross box-office amount. Both studios went before a judge today and explained they learned to play nice, and someone made a ton of money, so the movie will come out as planned.
This is great news for the movie watching community, as Watchmen expects to be one for the ages (although, wouldn't it be terrible if the movie was horrible and tanked?) It looks to be bad for the studio, and specifically the guy who used to be employed by the studio....it looks like someone will be joining the unemployment line!
