Catching up with last week's news, here's more proof that I can see the future.Warner Brothers and Fox finally reached settlement on their issue over the Watchmen movie.
Was justice served? Of course not, but at least the movie is coming out as expected. Warner will be distributing the movie, but Fox got a sweet, sweet deal
Fox will not be an active distributor of the pic, but will receive up to 8 1/2% gross participation in the pic, and a piece of everything going forward including a sequel or spinoff, and a cash payment upfront including recoupment of its development costs and attorney fees, and god-only-knows what else.
On one side, I'm very happy that the movie is coming out, because it looks fucking fantastic. But on the other side, it scares the fuck out of me to think about what Fox might do with all that cash. Like, maybe they'll use it to produce "Meet Dave 2: Dave bigger!" where in an attempt to improve the first one, they figure they just need Eddie Murphy to play even more characters; Including a fat one who farts a lot, and an old lady who gets naked.
Fuck you, Fox! I hope bankruptcy hits you soon, so we don't need to endure all the bullshit you produce.
