Just curious to see how many have read it and who is looking forward to it.

Its one of the best novels I have read period, and I can't wait for the movie. The trailer is the best ive seen in a while.

I read the Graphic Novel twice. I love it.

From what I hear Kevin Smith has seen a rough cut... and it's perfect.

And so did I. However you also have to look at it from his perspective. He's a huge Star Wars/George Lucas fan boy.

OK so that makes him an expert on Watchmen???

He would defenitely play Comic Book Dude if they ever mad a Simpsons live action feature.

There's a huge legal battle brimming between WB and FOX over who has the movie rights to Watchmen. Bottom line, there's a chance the movie won't be released as scheduled if the dispute isn't settled.

There is absolutely no chance either studio will allow the release to be affected. There will be money changing hands however. WB won't allow a huge blockbuster to get pushed back and Fox won't take the PR hit of blocking the release.

The sad thing is that the trial is set to start on January 6th. That's my 21st birthday.

Regarding the legal dispute...

Exclusive: An Open Letter From 'Watchmen' Producers

"Watchmen. A producer's perspective.

An open letter.

Who is right? In the Watchmen dispute between Warner Brothers and Fox that question is being discussed, analyzed, argued, tried and ruled on in a court of law. That's one way to answer the question - It is a fallback position in our society for parties in conflict to resolve disputes. And there are teams of lawyers and a highly regarded Federal Judge trying to do just that, which obviates any contribution I could make towards answering the "who is right" question within a legal context. But after 15 plus years of involvement in the project, and a decade more than that working in the movie business, I have another perspective, a personal perspective that I believe important to have on the public record.

No one is more keenly aware of the irony of this dispute than Larry Gordon and I who have been trying to get this movie made for many years. There's a list of people who have rejected the viability of a movie based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's classic graphic novel that reads like a who's who of Hollywood.

We've been told the graphic novel is unfilmable.

After 9/11 some felt the story's themes were too close to reality ever to be palatable to a mainstream audience.

If you read the rest of the article he pretty much says Fox is wrong on this one.

Just release the movie already!
