I didn't see this posted elsewhere. But, here's something from SciFi Wire:

udge: Fox Owns Watchmen Rights

In a surprise ruling, a federal judge in Los Angeles said he intended to grant 20th Century Fox's claim that it owns a copyright interest in the Watchmen, a movie shot by Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures and set for release in March, The New York Times reported on Christmas Eve.

The decision was disclosed in a five-page written order issued on Dec. 24. Gary A. Feess, a judge in the United States District Court for Central California, said he would provide a more detailed order soon.

Fox has been seeking to prevent Warner from releasing the film. The superhero adventure, based on the Watchmen graphic novel, is being directed by Zack Snyder (300) and has shaped up as one of most eagerly anticipated releases for next year.

A Warner spokesman, Scott Rowe, declined to comment on the ruling and the studio's plans.

What. The. EFF!

Does this mean the movie isn't gonna be released...?
 
I hope this just means Fox is going to distribute it instead of WB and the release date isn't getting pushed back because seriously, if I don't see this movie soon, I'm gonna go all Dr. Manhattan on their asses and disintegrate Fox's headquarters.
 
Would Warner Bros. really just have to give the film over to Fox and let them distribute it? Doesn't that leave Warner Bros minus hundreds of millions of dollars? That hardly seems fair.

This is just a really sucky situation, and I hope it's resolved quickly, no matter what has to happen. I want to see this movie.
