If the time-honored comic book question of Who Watches The Watchmen is asked, the answer could turn out to be: No one will, at least not anytime soon. One of the most hotly anticipated films of 2009 is in release limbo after a U.S. District Court judge has ruled that 20th Century Fox has the right to distribute the film.
The problem there is that Warner Bros. is the company planning to release the movie in March. E! Online reports that Fox sued Warner in February, alleging Warner hadn’t obtained all the rights from producer Lawrence Gordon. Judge Gary Feess agrees and now the pressure is on Warner to hash something out with Fox before one of the most hyped films of the year misses its target date.
