Settlement talks between Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox in the 'Watchmen' case, that were hinted at on Friday took a step forward on Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The two parties met in a closed-door meeting on Monday with Judge Gary Feess in Los Angeles court to hammer out details of a settlement. Neither party is disclosing details of that 30 minute confab. However, Warner has backed off requests to move up the January 20th hearing which is an indicator that a settlement is near.

Continuing coverage of 'The Dark Knight' awards watch:
Variety reports that the American Cinema Editors have announced their nominations for the 59th annual Ace Eddie Awards.
'The Dark Knight''s Lee Smith has gotten the nod for editing in a Dramatic Feature Film. Other contenders are Angus Wall & Kirk Baxter for 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', Mike Hill & Dan Hanley for 'Frost/Nixon', Elliot Graham for 'Milk' and Chris Dickens for 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
MTV Splash Page has allayed the concerns of fans who may have worried that actor Mickey Rourke would not bring it or would only bring some of it to the 'Iron Man 2' movie. From the red carpet of the Golden Globes awards, Rourke has confirmed that he will, in fact, "bring is all." Here's the report:
L.A. Times blog has an interview with Jackie Earle Haley that was conducted on the Vancouver set of 'Watchmen' last year.
Haley said the role challenged him. "Actors continually need to push away all inhibitions, and you need to reconcile your mind with where the character is. You need to find the moment and communicate. I have to do all of that with a sock over my head."
Check out the complete report...
IESB.net has a SPOILER report detailing some of the robots in disguise we may see in 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'.
We're posting the info in disappearing ink to protect those who wish to avoid it. Simply swipe the next passage with the mouse and it will transform (get it?) into readable text.
OK, here's the secret scoop: according to IESB we may see Superion, the mega Autobot who is a combo of five normal-sized Autobots: Silverbolt, Airazor, Fireflight, Skydive and Air Raid. As their names suggest, these are actually Aeiralbots. A combo-autobot makes sense, since its been long rumored that the Decepticons will have one as well in this movie.
IESB has toy photos that support their story.
Def will be getting the Punisher finally it was done right.
Just watched the Wrestler and what a great film.Once again Rourke proves why he's one of my favorite actors.
Haley is Rorschach
When the concept art of the move was released or leaked (what ever) wasn't it of a different giant robot but it was made of construction vehicles maybe there both in the movie it did say the Autobots and Decepticons each have there own giant size friend
The Transformers rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, as Michael Bay has said in the past that he will be dilibiterly releaseing false information.
