Watchmen: Fox Getting A Slice Of Pie
Friday, January 16, 2009 at 1:05PM
So FOX and Warner settled out of court a couple days ago. Making a movie I was 'semi-anticipating', slightly more..."anticipatorial" [that's a word...see I just made it]. Here's the deal:
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but the deal is said to involve a sizable cash payment to Fox and a percentage of the film's boxoffice grosses; Fox will not be a co-distributor on the film, nor will it co-own the "Watchmen" property, but it will share in revenue derived from it. The studios released a joint statement last night.

Something's telling me the homie Lloyd Levin [producer of Watchmen] isn't to happy. Especially since his last freak out.
