Looks like the seemingly awesome adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen may be in trouble. In the worst kind of trouble possible. Legal trouble. Fox claims the rights to the masterpiece, which has resulted in some nasty tug-of-war between them and Warner Brothers.
While legal troubles go over the naive and petty heads of us bloggers, we have some disturbing news at hand. The trial itself may go all the way upto June. And since it doesn’t make sense that Fox would allow the movie to be released till then, that could only mean…
The movie may be delayed to after the trial is over, and that is at least June 2009. Bad news. The movie was already a ways off, at March 2009 and is now delayed further? Not that I seriously mind this: I’d wait for all eternity for a Watchmen movie, so what I find scarier is that…
Fox may be trying to sabotage the movie itself. That would mean that if Fox wins the battle, the movie might actually not come out and the trailer we just saw may go into the ancient halls of “Awesome Movies that Weren’t”. And that’s a scary picture for us Watchmen fans.

Millennium
20th Century Fox
1996-1999
Three Season; available now on DVD
2881 minutes
For those who are X-Files fans, and even those who aren’t, Millennium is a worthwhile series that delves into the dark side of human nature and the supernatural. Created by Chris Carter, X-Files mastermind, I found this short-lived FOX series similar if not more intriguing and haunting than anything Mulder and Scully encountered.

In what can only be described as another shameless way to make cash from the
poor viewing audience USA Today has reported that DC comics are to release a
prequel comic to J.J. Abrams’ fall television show Fringe. Right now nothing is
written or drawn but the prequel is said to hit stands on August 27th in the US only.
The catch is for those who watch the slow later internationally unless an international
publication deal is made a section of the story will be kept from the audience.
A way around that is to include the book in the season boxset if one is ever released.
The below summary is sourced from comingsoon.net and Fox so credit to the writer and the site.
“Joshua Jackson (”Dawson’s Creek”), John Noble (”The Lord of the Rings”) and newcomer
Anna Torv star as an unlikely trio who uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of
unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern
that blurs the line between science fiction and technology”.
