The court ruling that favors Fox in distributing "Watchmen" over Warner Bros is still far from settled. Warner Bros issued a statement on Monday, December 29 that they will keep on fighting for the right, by either going to another trial or proposing an appeal to the U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess' decision so that the movie can stick to its release date on March 6, 2009.

Fox are trying to stop Warner from releasing the movie on the scheduled date for the reason of the deals they made with producer Lawrence Gordon. Last week, Feess ruled that Fox indeed own a copyright to distribute the movie, but Warner said they disagree to this.
