The film that can't be made...

Remember when Watchmen was first banded about as a film project, they all said it couldn't be done. Remember Alan Moore publicly washing his hands of the project, cursing it's existence, saying how he'd written it with it never being filmed in mind?
Well it was all going sooooo well, apart from no giant squid at the end, but it looks as if the Watchmen curse has started.
Fox wins ruling in the Watchmen case. Read the Variety article here. Hopefully we'll still get to see the final cut but Fox seem to have won distribution rights off Warner Bros. Nothing is ever easy.
Happy Chrimble one and all dogs...

I have no idea what that article means. Are they suddenly legally obliged to make the film really good instead of what I've been expecting?
