Why did Fox wait until WB finished the film and started marketing it?

Fox should just take control of the film arleady and release it, UNCUT. But they probably won’t.

@John

Good point – I’m not exactly versed in “legalese.” :-)

I think both sides are just posturing with the intention of trying to get the best deal they can by looking like they’re not going to back down.

Hey Vic,

That’s probably because he’s now totally irrelevant to the proceedings at this point.

WB may want to file some legal action against him at some point to force him to indemnify them for any losses they suffer as a result… but as far as this case goes, he’s not relevant.

Fox owns rights. WB think they own the rights. How they came to believe that isn’t relevant at the moment.

What’s interesting is that AFAIK Gordon hasn’t been mentioned anywhere in regards to this whole legal debacle…

After reading the Screenrant article, I take back all things I’ve said about Fox. I’ll throw the blame on Lawrence Gordon, not Warner of Fox. Yes Warner was dumb for doing things the wrong way, but through the article, we can clearly see Lawrence Gordon is at the origins of this legal fiasco.

Thank you Screen Rant for the run down.

Sounds like the Gordon guy is the root of all this, HOPEFULLY both sides will come to their senses, settle down, talk, and release the movie on time, and cut out Gordon as much as possible, because the longer they keep it on the shelf the more likely bootleg copies will start appearing, and that just hurts the bottom line of what looks like an amazing movie…

-sigh- I saw this coming. Damn it, WB, I think you need new lawyers because they really dropped the ball on this one. Or perhaps an exec thought they were bigger than Fox. Snyder and crew have to be feeling extremely disappointed over this whole mess.
