The new movie coming out March 2009 called Watchmen is in a whole mess of legal trouble right now. A federal judge has denied Warner Brothers’ motion to dismiss Fox’s lawsuit regarding the rights to distribute Watchmen. That could mean a delayed release for the movie.
A federal judge has denied a Warner Bros motion to dismiss 20th Century Fox’s legal battle over the rights to develop, produce and distribute a film based on the graphic novel Watchmen. This is huge Hollywood news because Warner Bros plans to release on March 2009 its highly anticipated big-screen version of the popular comic book written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons.
Let’s hope that the movie still comes out and I hope a deal is made or something. There was one other superhero movie that was sent to limbo and was never seen again and that was The Fantastic Four movie from 1994. Course it did look horrible, but in 1994 it would have been pretty cool. Have a look at the trailer after the jump.
I was expecting something pure trash. I was delighted to find a really cool movie. It's 28 Days meets Road Warrior. The special effects were excellent. A worthy rental. - John
I keep seeing bits about this movie Outlander, that has old school Vikings fighting an alien (or aliens). Here’s a two-minute clip I found on YouTube that gives you a bit of a feel. Oh, there’s also a good alien played by Jim Caviezel (Passion of the Christ) who’s in the clip being interrogated by a Viking chieftain about what he’s doing there
Here’s some cool clips of the cast of The Office and American Gladiators on Celebrity Family Feud. I’m going to have to watch this because it looks darn amusing. I love those people from The Office. A couple more clips after the jump.
I love this YouTube video listing out the Top Ten Jackie Chan fight scenes. Jackie is one of the most amazing martial artists ever one screen and many people here in the West don’t even know why he’s so big. This might help. There’s a bit of strong language in the narration, but it’s still really good. I’m just bummed that they didn’t have The Big Brawl, which is my favorite Jackie Chan movie of all time. Enjoy!
The movie Iron Man dominated the box office this weekend (no surprise) and if you stayed after the credits, there was a secret treat. It’s one of the greatest teases in a comic book movie even. Don’t take my word for it, but see for yourself.
