The war against Fox: Directors slam studio and = fans act=20 over Watchmen lawsuit
![3Dsurfproyas.jpg=20](3D"http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/surfproyas.jpg"=20)
THIS YEAR has been a tough one for 20th Century Fox - and it's not = getting=20 any better.
The studio has come under continuing criticism for its moviemaking = methods in=20 a series of fresh attacks.
Two directors have now spoken out against Fox while superhero = enthusiasts are=20 taking action against the company over its lawsuit to try to stop Warner = Bros=20 from releasing Watchmen.
This all comes on top of allegations of Fox chairman Tom Rothman = interfering=20 in the Wolverine movie by demanding changes to a set while director = Gavin Hood's=20 back was turned.
Many have claimed Fox has a notorious reputation for 'micro-managing' = projects in a way that stifles creativity and ruins its relationship = with=20 film-makers.
The latest attacks come in a year when Fox has had no less than three = sci-fi=20 flops - Meet Dave, The Happening and X-Files: I Want to Believe. Many = fans have=20 not enjoyed Fox's output for several years, saying that the potential of = its=20 films is butchered by studio execs who just want short, choppy, = kid-friendly=20 fodder rather than quality movies with enduring watchability.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a Fox flick that runs much longer than = 90=20 minutes these days. Movies like X2 are the exception...and they are = critically=20 acclaimed. A length of more than two hours did no harm to The Dark = Knight, not=20 even to the epic-length Lord of the Rings movies.
Here's the latest on the war against Fox...
SILVER SURFER SPIN-OFF
Director Alex Proyas (see picture above) has now confirmed what most = of us=20 knew already - that he won't work with Fox any more after the studio = chiefs=20 upset him during his time helming the sci-fi flick I, Robot. His name = had been=20 linked to a Silver Surfer spin-off from the Fantastic Four movies, but = Proyas=20 says it's not gonna happen.
So why would he never consider a Silver Surfer movie? He told MTV: = "Because=20 it's a Fox picture. And I'm determined never to work with them ever = again=20 because of my experience on I, Robot."
He says Fox already "messed up" the Surfer's story when he was = introduced in=20 the last Fantastic Four movie, and added: "Silver Surfer would have been = something I would have loved to have done. He's one of the last cool = ones left,=20 really."
BABYLON A.D.
This sci-fi flick starring Vin Diesel and directed by Mathieu = Kassovitz has=20 already been dubbed Babble-On A.D.D. That's ADD as in attention deficit=20 disorder.
And Kassovitz says it's all Fox's fault. He told AMC TV: "I'm very = unhappy=20 with the film. I never had a chance to do one scene the way it was = written or=20 the way I wanted it to be. The script wasn't respected. Bad producers, = bad=20 partners, it was a terrible experience."
![3Dmathieu.jpg=20](3D"http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/mathieu.jpg"=20)
"The scope of the original book was quite amazing," =
says=20
Kassovitz (pictured right). "The author was very much into geopolitics =
and how=20
the world is going to evolve. He saw that as wars evolve, it won't be =
just about=20
territories any more, but money-driven politics. As a director it's =
something=20
that's very attractive to do."
But he says Babylon A.D. fails to deliver any of these messages. = "It's pure=20 violence and stupidity," he admits. "The movie is supposed to teach us = that the=20 education of our children will mean the future of our planet. All the = action=20 scenes had a goal: They were supposed to be driven by either a = metaphysical=20 point of view or experience for the characters... instead parts of the = movie are=20 like a bad episode of 24."
"Fox was sending lawyers who were only looking at all the commas and = the=20 dots," he says. "They made everything difficult from A to Z." The last = stroke,=20 Kassovitz says, was when Fox interfered with the editing of the film, = hacking it=20 to a confusing 93 minutes by taking 15 minutes of vital material out of = the=20 film.
Kassovitz added: "I don't see how people who went through all these = amazing=20 blockbusters like The Dark Knight and Iron Man this summer will take it. = I=20 should have chosen a studio that has guts. Fox was just trying to get a = PG-13=20 movie. I'm ready to go to war against them, but I can't because they = don't give=20 a s--t."
Diesel too was astounded at the film's length. "Am I even in the = movie any=20 more, or am I on the cutting room floor?" the actor joked.
WATCHMEN
When Fox filed a legal claim that it still holds the rights to the = Watchmen=20 movie and wants to stop the film being released by Warner Bros, all hell = broke=20 loose online. Questions are being asked about why Fox waited until = Warner had=20 completed filming before beginning its lawsuit.
![3Dwatchpost.jpg=20](3D"http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/watchpost.jpg"=20)
It's left a bitter taste with superhero fans. Many =
are=20
threatening to boycott Fox's movies and to try to damage their films =
through=20
distributing pirate copies online.
A petition has been launched online by my fellow superhero =
enthusiasts over=20
at Comicbookmovie. The
A trial date for the lawsuit hearing has now been set for January 6. = The=20 judge ruled that a preliminary injunction postponing the movie was = inappropriate=20 and that the issues were too complex to be resolved on an interim basis. = He's=20 also wants the case to move quickly. But fans rejoiced that he refused = an=20 immediate injunction against the movie.
Warner Bros is fighting back by arguing that Fox "sat silently" while = Watchmen producer Lawrence Gordon shopped the project "to studio after = studio=20 with Fox's express knowledge."
Fox had been pushing for a June court date, which would mean the = film's March=20 release was cancelled.
Fox's already tarnished reputation among sci-fi and = superhero fans=20 is taking a real bashing here. Will fans trust or support anything that = Fox does=20 after all this? Seriously, shouldn't Fox be getting its house in order = and=20 making good movies again rather than releasing poor films and then = trying to=20 stop other studios making movies? Time for a change at the top perhaps?=20
