Image via Wikipedia Nicki Finke is reporting on Deadline Hollywood that Warner’s motion to dismiss Fox’s lawsuit over the Watchmen movie has been denied. The judge has ruled that there is merit to Fox’s claim that they retain at least partial rights to any Watchmen film adaptation and thus Warner Brothers did not have the right to adapt the movie without them.
While this is obviously a blow against the WB and Fox has requested an injunction against releasing the film, Warner Brothers reminded us in a released statement that this has yet to be decided. The judge has only ruled that Fox has satisfied the requirements to file the lawsuit, not that they’ve won the suit.

Watchmen maybe never come to a theatre near you? | Between The Staples | August 22, 2008 | 12:22 pm[...] CrackerBob’s For The Love of Comics blog talked recently about the whole Fox vs Warner Bros. issues over the Watchmen. Seems Fox thinks that they have rights that WB never bought way back when man wrote on cave walls and now feel that they can stop the movie from ever being released or so they say. I am betting once the WB bucks up and lets FOX in on the action, the Watchmen will be in full glory and pimped out even more than WB is doing right now. [...]

MidKnight | August 22, 2008 | 8:01 pmDude are they fucking referring to the Watchmen from the fucking X-Files? Are they retarded? This movie adaptation is about a comic/graphic novel published over 20 fucking years ago. If Fox fucks with my Watchmen I’m gonna be pissed!

Dustin Christian | August 22, 2008 | 8:04 pmI think Fox actually at one point had at least partial film rights to the graphic novel, but it would be really fucked up if it did turn out to be a name dispute between the X-Files dweebs and the comic.
I guaranty you it's about the fucking X-files guys.
MidKnight | August 26, 2008 | 7:09 pmI guaranty you it’s about the fucking X-files guys. And if it is I say we find Mulder and Skully, kidnap them, and torture them while videotaping. And send the tapes to Fox stating that everyday that Watchmen is not properly released in theaters we’ll cut off an appendage from each actor and mail it to them….
Too extreme?
