It'll get released. All Fox really wants is free money - a cut of the profits of a film they had no involvement in making, but happened ot own the rights to. If they really wanted to block its release, they would have sued when the project was announced a year ago.

And the concerns about how close it'll be to the graphic novel stem from the confirmed changes to the ending, which, in the interest of not spoiling the movie/comic, I won't elaborate on. But the ending WILL be different. Even if the rest is pretty much spot-on.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with the change - even though I love the comic, the comic's ending would mean a lot more build-up would need to be included in the film, and it's honestly a little bit convoluted. Changing the mechanism of the ending (the message is the same) lets them remove all that build-up, while not having to add much more since a lot of it's already kind of built in to the story anyway. Plus it's less convoluted, and to the average moviegoer, would make more sense than the novel's ending which, honestly, comes a little out of left field.

We'll see in May, though. I, for one, have very high hopes for it.
