WATCHMEN: Fox Says, "No Settlement! We want a Delayed Release Date"

Well, it looks like there will be no quick settlement between Warner Bros and Fox--as suggested by the Judge. Emboldened by winning the copyright ruling last week, 20th Century Fox is indeed going to court in an effort to get the Watchmen movie delayed.

This from The Hollywood Reporter...

An attorney for 20th Century Fox said the studio will continue to seek an order delaying the release of "Watchmen."

U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess last week agreed with Fox that Warner Bros. had infringed its copyright by developing and shooting the superhero flick, scheduled for release March 6.

Feess said Monday that he plans to hold a trial Jan. 20 to decide remaining issues.

Fox claimed it never fully relinquished story rights from its deal made in the late 1980s, and sued Warner Bros. in February. Warner Bros. contended that Fox isn't entitled to distribution.

Warner Bros.' attorney said Monday he didn't know if an appeal was coming, but thinks a trial is necessary and a settlement unlikely.
