Online buzz has reached a deafening pitch in the studio dispute over Watchmen, as a scheduled hearing before Federal District Judge Gary A. Feess was postponed Friday at the request of lawyers for Warner Bros. Pictures and 20th Century Fox [see today's update in The New York Times].
Links to an open letter about the dispute from Watchmen producer Lloyd Levin on Drew McWeeny's Motion Captured blog on Thursday were posted hundreds of times in individual tweets. Given WB's presence on Facebook and MySpace, it is curious that they have not chosen to put their Twitter account to better use.
Meanwhile, fans of the extraordinary 1980s graphic novel seem relieved that the $130 million movie adaptation's scheduled release on March 6 may materialize on time.
