There were some rather radical developments in the Watchmen legal case today. I will provide more detailed information after examining the documents that were filed in more detail. Some rough highlights of what I have read so far are featured below. Stay tuned for more detailed analysis.
First, Fox and Warner Brothers filed a joint stipulation agreement. One point of agreement is that is waiving injunctive claims for any claim or matter other than the distribution claim. In exchange, Warner Brothers agrees that, if the Court determines that an injunction is an appropriate remedy, Fox is entitled on the distribution claim to stop the release of the Watchmen picture produced by Warner Brothers.
Second, the scheduled January 20, 2009 hearing will be limited to the question of whether Fox is entitled to a permanent injunction on its distribution claim with respect to the Watchmen picture produced by Warner Brothers. This will be a non-jury hearing.
