Or that guy who did Pans Labrinthe and the 2 Hellboy movies.  I can't think of his name at the moment.

Benicio Del Toro.

 

Guillermo Del Toro.  Benicio is an actor.  His only directing credit is from 1995.

 

D'oh!  Sorry about that.  At least I got the Del Toro part right :)

Firefly was a dumb move, but hey at least we got serenity out of that.

We got Serenity because Fox doesn't own the rights to that name.  Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten shit.  They still won't sale the rights to Universal, even though they'll probably never make use of the property again.

Whedon even said when FireFly was cancelled that Fox essentially didn't even want a Sci-Fi show.  They green lit it, then they showed the episodes out of order, practically guaranteeing it would be cancelled.

I'm sure WB will fold in order to get the movie out there.  The only other way, that I can think of, is if they can prove that Fox knew about it and said nothing.  They can claim stupidity unless there's an email or letter somewhere stating they knew about it but are going to let them film to completion, then jump on it.

Fox and Warner Bros. have officially settled the dispute over "Watchmen."  Warner Bros. will release the film on time as planned, and Fox got an undisclosed amount of money to fuck off.  So we can all stop worrying now :-)
