My pal Fenix is seriously stressing out over the prospect of their having to postpone the film's release. I told her, they will almost certainly come up with an eleventh-hour settlement. Pun on the original comic's clock-countdown imagery, intentional.

Your pal isn't the only one who was stressing out over it, which really confused the heck out of me the first time I read this comment! =) "Who is this person? How do they know I'm stressing?! Where are the hidden cameras!"

I really need to get some sleep.

Snicker. You're not the only one who has risen from the asses, er, ashes. I think I will mosey over to your journal and see what else there is in common. ;-)

Run now, save yourself! ;)

I'm not surprised they've cut a deal - it's really in the interests of both studios to settle as quickly as possible, with relatively non-assholish terms on either side. On the other hand, yes, very pleased to hear it happened quickly enough to not postpone the release.

Glad to see this. Not expecting the movie to be a patch on the graphic novel, but looking forward to it nonetheless.

I wonder what percentage of the Gross Warner Bros is gonna have to give up?

For all I know, the main thing might have been distribution rights to the Batman television series.

OK, so, I haven't read it yet. Do I read it first, and be disappointed by the movie, or watch the movie first and be even happier with the book?????

By all accounts the film is an very close recreation of the book [for once]...so six of one, half a dozen of another..

I have a really hard time not comparing a movie to its source material, so I'd go with watching the movie first, then reading the book. YMMV.

Figures... I think if it had been delayed both studios would have been burnt to the ground by wrathful fans...

[foenix.livejournal.com]

Oh thank the maker.

I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for word on this, and while I still have some gigantic freakin' reservations about the direction they're taking some things, by now I am squarely on the side of the good outweighing the bad. Each trailer just has SO much that looks like comic panels made real, that I can forgive a few changes.

I actually think this could end up being a GOOD thing, in a weird way. The money being split amongst companies, and any money for any future sequels and spinoffs being split as well, that will make people less willing to try to make a sequel. Which if its a hit, someone will try. We all know it.

Great news.

I may have to gank that icon to continue my theme of cross overs that are very, very wrong.

[aota.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. Can I gank yours? See you on the TML.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Go for it! You might like this one as well.

Thanks, actually I do like your GURPS icon which is why I made this one. We talked about it on the GURPS LJ feed a few years back.
