I was under the impression that the rights dispute was for the Original movie not the franchise as a whole? Also pretty sure it only extends to projects that were greenlit after the aquisition of Fox by Disney IE all of the new Movie stuff, Comic stuff, and the rumored netflix show. And that the game and all projects before the aquisition were still allowed to continue? I am probably VERY wrong and am in no way well versed in copyrights law and procedure mind you.

you’ re probably right. i dont think they have any right to challenge the PHG IP. because its already made. EVen new material shouldn’t be challenged as its still apart of the business model to include updates, patches and DLCs. EVen creative control is still between their relationship with Disney/20 century.
Even if the brothers win , disney would still own all the previous movies , the Thomas brothers would only have the rights for future movies made in America.
Which if you look at it , disney would just have to create it outside of america . Its fucking dumb
exactly. In America…or north america. They are filming skulls in Canada you know. But i see its an American company funding/doing it sure.
Filming locations aren’t the same thing , I think it means where the base studio is
Well that would be down to their laziness… also, hard for me to blame XDDDDD

Weren’t there Japanese or asian studios doing fan scultures? those …well thats a whole different deal with disney.
No idea , illfonic had to make a deal with Disney during the buyout of fox aswell , so I think the game would only be on hold temporarily.
Anyone got any update on what happened to court yesterday? between disney and thomas brothers? or will it be said tomorrow on monday?
Just from what little research I’ve done it seems like a shakedown to me, according to 2 articles I just read apparently there was a window of time after the acquisition where the bros had to refile for copyright of the Original Written property “Hunters” which is obviously the basis for the First movie and the spiritual progenitor of what we now know as Predator. Apparently they did not refile within this window therefore Disney retained all rights and legal ownership of the “Hunters” IP and the Predator Franchise IP, according to the bros there was some extenuating circumstance that should have extended that window of opportunity for them to refile and that seems to be their main argument. And That is ultimately why it is now going to court, But its should apparently not halt anything until this can be proven in court not before, unlike the situation with Friday where Paramount retained the publication and production rights but did not at that time have the IP rights from the creator which was the legal standing in his ability to freeze all F13 production as they entered into it knowing they did not at that time own the IP, that doesn’t seem to be the case here though as Disney did indeed absorb All Rights from Fox as a part of the Aquisition.
I heard someone mention the brothers have been putting the motion forward since 2016 , but I haven’t looked too deeply at it . I stopped enjoying anything new with this franchise 10 years ago
It could go on until June or something if they can’t figure it out. thats what i read.maybe try

The franchise has indeed gone through a lot of ups and downs but as a whole Comics, Games, Movies ECT. I personally feel the amount of bad is still less than the amount of good but the bad has been so Potently Bad that it hurts more and feels worse…to me at least. All things considered with the amount of lore and already created content at their disposal it’s shocking that the last 2 Movies have been such a complete shit show, (AVP is technically its own thing now so I don’t include those in this) I mean imagine if they just brought The Concrete Jungle Comic to the big screen and brought Arny back for at least a cameo they would have fared much better than they did with Predators and The Predator…Fuck It even The Concrete Jungle Game would have been a better choice than those two hunks of shit…
The last movie I enjoyed was predators , although I enjoyed some of this game? Its had more bad than good . So the last game I really enjoyed was avp 2010 and the others plus concrete jungle . I cant speak on the graphic novels etc but everything else has sucked .
The most prominent and best part of live action cinema? Arguably ended in 1990 . Predators has its qualities but its pale in comparison.

I own about 85% of the comics, books, and old games and all of the movies and trust me most of the magic is in between the pages and not on the screen, which is usually the case with these things 😁 but my main issues with Predators is
#1 why are we trying to force a tough guy Adrien Brody in my face? I will NEVER think that dude is tough so stop it.
#2 why in the Holy Hell did we bring Eric Foreman to the Hunting World? Just because he’s a shady doctor that murders people? How at all that translates to something that a Big Bad Super Pred would want to hunt is beyond me. Also how would they even know thats what he does? Or care?
#3 why even have the Jungle Hunteresque Pred in the movie if he was just going to get his dick stood on almost immediately after his introduction?

2#im guessing that’s topher graces character? 😁 it is odd but on the same point , isn’t Walton goggins’ character the same? A death row inmate? At least he was charismatic and funny .
