Watchmen

Fox and Warner may be getting closer to settling the legal dispute which threatened to delay the March release of Zack Snyder's superhero movie.

A court had previously ruled that Fox owned distribution rights to the movie as a result of a previous development deal.  Now  Variety report that -

"Attorneys for the studios agreed Friday to delay a federal court hearing until Monday in order to continue settlement talks.

The hearing had been set to take place Friday before the US District Court to rule on Warner's request for an expedited hearing on the key issue -- whether to grant Fox's demand to block Warner's plans to release "Watchmen" on March 6."
