Fox is watching over the Watchmen

Before I quote the New York Times, I'll explain it for the stupid: Fox had the rights for the franchise, they didn't want to do shit with it so they gave it to some dude. That dude sold it to Warner Bros. and now that the movie is done, Fox wants a cut from it.

Simple enough? Lets quote the fucking newspaper:

In a surprise ruling, a federal judge in Los Angeles said he intended to grant 20th Century Fox’s claim that it owns a copyright interest in the “Watchmen,” a movie shot by Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures and set for release in March. (...)

Fox has been seeking to prevent Warner from releasing the film. The superhero adventure, based on the “Watchmen” graphic novel, is being directed by Zack Snyder (who also directed “300”) and has shaped up as one of most eagerly anticipated releases for next year.

“Fox owns a copyright interest consisting of, at the very least, the right to distribute the ‘Watchmen’ motion picture,” the ruling said.

Going back to stupid mode, this means FOX and WB need to come to an agreement, which means they will be distributing the movie together. Could I start ranting about the people at FOX being a bunch of cunts? Sure I could, but that wouldn't change anything, the movie will be coming out as expected. I mean, WB already has the money in it.

Besides, this is old news. So why did I feel like posting it? Well, because I needed an excuse to post a picture of Malin Akerman's awesome ass.
