Maybe Well Get to See Watchmen After All

 

Good news for everyone who’s hoping Watchmen will keep its March 6 release date (pretty much everyone who would bother reading this site): attorneys on both sides have asked a federal judge to delay hearing today because settlement discussions have been so productive. Attorneys for rival studios fighting over the release of the superhero flick told a federal judge on Friday that they’re having fruitful settlement talks. Attorneys for 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. asked the judge to delay a hearing Friday so those discussions can continue over the weekend. U.S. District Judge Gary Allen Feess agreed to continue the hearing but says a trial over whether to block the film’s March release is still set for Jan. 20. Lou Karasik, who is representing Fox, told Feess that the delay would be “very, very helpful” to settlement discussions he deemed “productive.” Sadly, discussions may lose steam when attorneys actually start talking numbers, as the “productive” talks thus far have been limited to both sides agreeing that Watchmen is the best graphic novel ever and should really be respected as a work of serious fiction, not just a comic book. And that’s today’s Watchmen legal update. (Thanks, Brandi.) Attorneys: ‘Watchmen’ settlement talks productive [Yahoo!]
