kinda pathetic that we may get robbed of the movie out of pure spite on Fox's part.

Bullock Joining Stallone's Expendables?
Source: Shannon
December 24, 2008
JoBlo.com is reporting that Sylvester Stallone is pursuing Sandra Bullock to co-star in his new action film, The Expendables. Sly so far has cast Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker and Randy Couture in the film about a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator.
Stallone and Bullock starred together in Demolition Man. The site says that "Bullock would play a government agent (paired up with Whitaker) on the hunt for Stallone's crew of hired guns."
Yeah I can agree with that. 80s action stars, Li, Whitaker and MMA... wow.

They filed the Lawsuit awhile ago when the movie was halfway done. I have no issue with the lawsuit, what I do have issue with is the "we want the rights back solely to fuck over anybody ever seeing the movie since we failed at making it". Then they'd probably do their own shitty version or just as bad decide to try and force snyder to re-shoot it and cut out true to the comics parts of it. To be fair Fox did distribute Fight Club, but i dont trust them to let Snyder put out the movie he wants like WB let's him now(a right he had to earn with them).

Fox to Seek Order Delaying Watchmen Release
Source: The Associated Press
December 29, 2008
An attorney for 20th Century Fox says the studio will continue to seek an order delaying the release of Watchmen, according to The Associated Press.
U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess last week agreed with Fox that Warner Bros. had infringed its copyright by developing and shooting the film, scheduled for release March 6.
Feess said Monday he plans to hold a trial Jan. 20 to decide remaining issues.
Fox claims it never fully relinquished story rights from its deal made in the late 1980s, and sued Warner Bros. in February. Warner Bros. contended 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.

Watchmen featurette, pretty damn cool look at the whole idea from comic novel to movie. Maybe warner will do a heavy media blitz of Watchmen to put Fox on the hot seat with their efforts to stop it.
I'm watching the Eagles-Giants game and I just saw a Watchmen commercial at the break. On Fox.
There'll be peace in the valley. Fox laid down with Warner. Watchmen is a go.
