Your Watchmen Movie Update (Still Screwed)

toplessrobot.com — Although everyone in Hollywood says that Fox only wants a cut of the money by suing Warner Bros. to stop its Watchmen movie, Fox doesn't seem to be on the same page. Now, the studio has gone on record as saying that it only wants to stop Warner's movie from ever getting released, and now

    And Fox will whisper, "No."

    Apparently, none of us.
  • qwertyguy, on 09/02/2008, -0/+39Goddammit!!!
  • wowsah156, on 09/03/2008, -1/+29We are seeing Fox's true colours now. They are in a huff that Lucas has left them to go to Warner Brothers with his cash cow, so fox executives are scared ***** that they have been found out to be lazy ***** with no original ideas who have fed off Lucas and toy merchandising. The future for Fox movies looks bleak now. What actor will want to work for a company that would allow a movie to be made then sue for profits?! I can see karma being a bitch and making 20th Century Fox a pariah amongst actors and Hollywood workers.

    Oh and a big ***** Off to Rupert Murdoch.

  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -0/+24You suck. Just because YOU don't want to see an adaption (out of some misguided sense of loyalty, I assume) doesn't mean that the rest of us shouldn't be able to enjoy it.

    The world does not revolve around you.
  • ZiggyILM, on 09/03/2008, -0/+21I'm going to assume Fox doesn't want the film released so they can make one... in which case they must think (what most of us already know) that this has the potential to reap huge piles of wet, stinking cash, and they'd rather have it all as opposed to just a cut. Otherwise their just a bunch of grouchy douchebags

    ....they're probably grouchy douchebags regardless
  • Sornos, on 09/02/2008, -0/+20You maniacs! You screwed it up! Ah, damn you, Fox! God damn you all to hell!
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -0/+18Dick move, Fox, dick move.

    You're already on thin ice with your youth audience, don't push it.
  • LeonHRodriguez, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17Dugg for the Lego Archimedes
  • carpeclunes, on 09/03/2008, -0/+13Northampton, England, most likely.
  • Microfoot, on 09/03/2008, -0/+13So you're supporting a lawsuit that would make months of hard work from innocent crewmembers worthless?
  • LilRabbitFooFoo, on 09/03/2008, -0/+13Fox is doing this as payback for WB taking Bryan Singer away from X-MEN 3 to do SUPERMAN RETURNS. This is a pissing contest between two studio executives. Nothing more nothing less.
  • Kisama, on 09/02/2008, -4/+16I will not pay to see, nor purchase a movie made or distributed by FOX or its subsidiaries until they knock this ***** off. I suggest everyone else take the same stance.
  • fantheblaze, on 09/03/2008, -6/+17***** FOX NEWS!
  • tobias19, on 09/03/2008, -0/+9People can say "Boycott Fox!" all they want, but who's actually going to do it?

    I'm entirely inexperience at this sort of stuff, but can we get try to a legitimately organized boycott going?
  • Beevo, on 09/03/2008, -2/+10I will seriously debate boycotting Fox if they kill the movie.

    ...


    Ok, so by boycott I mean torrent. Cause I'm to weak to actually boycott anything but that way they see none of the benefit.
  • breakaway, on 09/03/2008, -1/+9But everyone else here wants to watch it. So shut up, *****.
  • Sornos, on 09/03/2008, -0/+7Watchmen is like the Citizen Kane of comic books. I haven't seen either but I've heard they're very very good.
    Check the trailer at watchmenmovie.com
  • diggerman32, on 09/03/2008, -1/+8http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ihatefox/

    Petition to boycott fox till settled
  • cheeseron, on 09/03/2008, -0/+7Archie
  • AzureRise, on 09/03/2008, -1/+8News!
  • joegibes, on 09/03/2008, -0/+7This sucks. I had just read the comic, re-watched the trailer, and was freakin pumped, but then Fox has to go be... Fox.
  • TheCasablancan, on 09/03/2008, -0/+7It's all one big joke.

    :)
  • k3rfuffl3, on 09/03/2008, -0/+7We don't need to boycott Fox. ARRRR WE BE PIRATES. Same effect.
  • rashawty, on 09/03/2008, -1/+7Best comment ever!
  • DontThinkSo, on 09/03/2008, -0/+6I've got another mission for Anonymous...
  • kawaiirobo, on 09/03/2008, -0/+6I swear to god, why can't the fox execs end up on a cruise ship filled with dynamite.....
  • Yondelldude, on 09/03/2008, -0/+6I think this is a 4chan meme
  • UNDERSTAR, on 09/03/2008, -0/+5in the ass??
  • solidus636, on 09/03/2008, -0/+5I have to admit, that was a pretty clever comment.
  • ChristophyBrown, on 09/03/2008, -0/+5NO.
    Don't...you...*****...dare.
  • HouseofEl, on 09/03/2008, -0/+5If the trailer had been released to bad reviews, Fox wouldn't care about this film at all. Such ***** on their part. You lost, get over it.
  • kickcows, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4:( All I want to do is see the movie.
  • btschul, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4Like what? Mama Mia? Meet Dave? ***** off.
  • jlpete9, on 09/02/2008, -1/+5Tempted to bury for being the bearer of bad news.
  • btschul, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4If I was Zack Snyder, I'd get on camera and drop my pants and yell "SUCK ON THIS, FOX", then release the movie and use the hundreds of millions it makes at the box office to pay off the lawsuit Fox brings.
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -1/+51st of all, that's an ***** move. Why would you give away the ending for no reason?

    2nd of all, that's not even what happens. The government plot? WTF? Did you even READ The Watchmen??
  • Nathan86, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4what are the odds of ctrl and V getting stuck at the same time?
  • kurupttek, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4Channel
  • jtbell04, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4Man, only Nite Owl calls it that.
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3This is just like what happened to the 1994 Fantastic Four movie.

    I remember seeing the trailer for that when I was a kid thinking it was going to be the *****. Then it just...disappeared.

    Funny story, that.
  • imightbewrong, on 09/03/2008, -1/+4i'm pretty sure fox is just pushing for a settlement...
  • kitsua, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3Wait .. what? There's a problem with releasing the Watchmen film? How did I miss this development and can someone please post a link that details what's going on?

    After reading Watchmen again and again for the last 15 years I was wary about an adaptation that wasn't directed by Terry Gilliam. The various bits and pieces that have leaked out, the testimonials by those involved, the artist pics of the characters and the trailer have turned all that around and now I'm super-stoked about this movie and cannot wait for it's release. The idea that it's being stalled by the ***** at Fox is beyond irritating.
  • arjie, on 09/03/2008, -1/+4"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

    That's a Justice League quote? Did you skip Roman Classical Literature in High School or something?
  • Elranzer, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3Between this and the Nazi propaganda machine known as Fox News, I feel NewsCorp now needs to be dissolved and its assets returned to the shareholders. Rupert Murdoch also deserves to be deported... if another country would have him.

    I also expect a public apology, for being a douchbag in corporate form.
