The other big suit that hit today was filed by 20th Century Fox against Warner Bros, claiming they and they alone have the rights to make a film based on WATCHMEN. Umm... wouldn't it have been a good idea to let WB know this before they shot the damn movie?
It's a long, complicated claim (read the details here!), but I can't help but wonder how this went so far without Fox realizing it. I don't know what exactly they want, but it reads like they're trying to stop any further movement of the movie. Scope this:
"...restrain (Warner Bros. Pictures) from taking actions that violate Fox's copyrights and which stand to forever impair Fox's rights to control the distribution and development of this unique work."
