Film School Rejects: 20th Century Fox Lawsuit Puts Watchmen in Jeopardy

    This can't be happening. If anything, it's a dick move on their part as an attempt to get WB sunk into the project before putting a stop to it. It's a good way to leverage payment if their case is solid. WB has too much invested at this point not to pay the piper. If you threaten legal action before a project starts, usually the project just never starts.

    It will all work out. Either Warners will pony up some cash or get Fox to go in on it with
    them. Multi-studio movies aren't that rare anymore. If Fox really wanted to shut it down
    they would have done this earlier. I think they anticipate a good return on any investment.
    Fox just wants what they feel is coming to them....

    Here's a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Fox has done this to others who are not in a financial position to take them on. Cover-to-cover retelling of a story and calling it original. Fox's own project Journeyman needs a closer look. Accusations re: The Time Traveler's Wife and Quantum Leap are off the mark. They are not the source. Perhaps a look at a little known self-published work by an obscure author will shed a bit of light. Check out a novel called An Ordinary Hero and see if you agree that the origins of all that televised time travel and child abuse really was the back lot at TCF.
