Hasta La Creative!

Twentieth Century Fox is suing Warner Bros., claiming it owns the rights to Watchmen (rights which it apparently bought in the 1980s and failed to use) and seeking an injunction to stop production of the film. At the moment, there’s no reason to doubt the film will come out on time. Fox is most likely just looking to squeeze some cash out of Warner, like producer Robert Clark did over disputed rights to Warner’s Dukes of Hazzard film. And if it is pushed back, that won’t be the end of the world, right? I mean, all those Harry Potter fans are taking the eight-month delay on Warner’s next installment of that series pretty well. Except those calling for protests and boycotts, that is. To try to mitigate that situation, Warner is giving Potter’s original release date (Nov. 21) to Twilight, an adaption of Stephenie Meyer’s teen vampire romance. Do I even need to tell you it’s horrible? It’s a teen vampire romance. If I were a teenage girl, I would be dying to see it. Since I am full-grown comic-book geek, I’m joining a Facebook group instead. It’s called NOOOO! Don’t Let F***ing Fox Stop Watchmen!
