There are perhaps several reasons of why not to see this month's release of Warner Bros' WATCHMEN. Firstly it's produced by a major studio, who's risk aversion, play-it-safe strategy goes completely at odds with the narrative’s view of sadomasochistic superheroes (although they have thrown in some slow-mo violence so that probably made it ok).
 

Secondly it's directed by the fella who missed the point of Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD and somehow managed to make Frank Miller's 300 even more fascistic (unbelievable I know). Add to that the fact that its been raped into a consumer cash cow (check out the Watchmen lunchboxes and Rorschach action figures!), been deemed unfilmible by genre heavy weight Terry Gilliam,  written by the guy who also penned THE SCORPION KING and, interestingly had Zach the director already tell us that the DVD will be better.
 
But, of course, none of this really matters. Any film, regardless of how auspicious the origins, has the potential to be worthwhile. After all, this is also a project based on the work of one of the greatest writers of the late 20th century. But then that's the problem, innit? Go and see the movie, and you won't find the name Alan Moore ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some really sad news to report on Christmas Day.

Warner Bros. have lost the case for WATCHMEN. According to the New York Times, a judge has claimed he intends to rule that 20th Century Fox do own a copyright interest in the Alan Moore graphic novel which dates back to the late 1980's. What this means for WATCHMEN is unclear at this point but Fox have previously made it known they seek to permanently block the movie from being released which now must be seen as a distinct possibility.



Judge Fees made the surprise announcement last week, some time before the trial is set to begin in January...
“Fox owns a copyright interest consisting of, at the very least, the right to distribute the ‘Watchmen’ motion picture,” the ruling said.
One of the likely scenario's from all this is 20th Century Fox winning a free MASSIVE summer tentpole which they can release under their banner, despite all the hard work Warner Bros. have gone through, and reaping the majority if not all the rewards in the process.

Another interesting thing to consider is whether 20th Century Fox will have the final edit on Zack Snyder's film and whether they will tweak and cut it however ...]]></description>
