WB is just smarting up from The Watchmen brouhaha [In reply to] Can't Post

They greenlit that movie while the rights still belonged to Fox. Fox waited for the movie to be complete and than pressed charges. Now, since The Hobbit is much bigger player than The Watchmen, you bet WB doesn`t want to go through court settlement or profit sharing with MGM or Fox again if Fox succeeds in buying MGM over Warners. The Hobbit will be greenlit when there`s 100% no doubt that the studio has all the rights to make the movie under their logo and rake in money accordingly. That`s about it.
