A court date for battle between Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox over the rights to "Watchmen" has been set for Jan. 6, 2009, says The Hollywood Reporter. Zack Snyder's film is currently set for release March 6.

From THR: "With a March release date looming, U.S. District Court Judge Gary Allen Feess said Fox should forgo any attempt to get a preliminary injunction against Warners to stop the release of the film because the issues were far too complex to be resolved on an interim basis, sources said."
