Will Watchmen Be Delayed?

I’m not a lawyer, so I won’t pretend to be one. All I know about this case is what I’ve read in various newspaper reports and from what I could understand from the court filing. Ad looking over all the publicly released claims has me worried. The fanboy attitude is to attack Fox, but it looks to me like Warner Bros might be at fault. It’s a shame that the studio didn’t try to work this out before the film went into production, before a trailer was released, and before millions of fans got excited. Hopefully we’ll be able to see Watchmen on the big screen sooner rather than later. I’m guessing (and hoping) that this suit might be settled out of court before March.
