Dragon Ball, Star Trek, Harry Potter. All those movies got majorly pushed back. Even Hancock was supposed to come out a couple years ago originally, if I remember correctly.

has it EVER happened that a movie was released 8 months later then it was supposed to?

does that not sound insane to anyone else?

ive known about minor delays but for it to be pushed from march to next year is ludacris..

You hate both of them, but I get you go see lots of movies made by them both.

Example If I have a story that belongs in a collective works (Watchmen to DC Comic) and I sale the rights to a company (Fox) that give full permission to make my story and my story alone into a movie, but that company never capitalize on my story. Some time later another company (WB) buys the rights to all stories in the collective works (DC Comics) the same collective works that my story belongs to. Meaning both companies own my story. So when one company (WB) capitalize on my story and makes a movie knowing they have the rights but the other company (Fox) comes out of the wood work and says no you don’t we had them from back in the day. So who really owns rights to make my story into a movie.The real issues is why do we have to argue over money?

they had a long time to do this shit and if they do it withing the year this is done and a couple of months before the first trailer comes out…then i think thats definatedly last minute.

but that also depends on how long theyve been planning to do this movie…

what pisses me off is that the fucking movie is done and now we have to wait 10 months to watch it if it comes out in 2010

If you read the article, you would see that its been quite a while that Fox has been trying to get WB to own up, and now they are forced to delay it over this conflict.

This is not last minute.

Fox doesn’t care what people think of them. You will still buy the tickets and see the movies no matter what you think of them personally.

You think after 20 years of cinematic limbo that if this movie gets delayed that fewwer people will see it when it finally DOES come out? Just because fox delayed it?

Warner Bros will eventually feel the pressure and give in, giving Fox some heavy points. Thats what Fox wants and Im sure they will get it!
