LOS ANGELES - Attorneys for rival studios fighting over the release of the superhero flick "Watchmen" say they're having fruitful settlement talks.
  
Attorneys for 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. asked a federal judge to delay a hearing Friday so settlement discussions can continue over the weekend.
  
U.S District Judge Gary Allen Feess agreed to continue the hearing but says a trial over whether to block the film's March release is still set for Jan. 20.
  
Fox is suing to stop the release of "Watchmen," claiming Warner Bros. violated its interests by filming the tale. Feess agreed last month that Fox appears to have the right to distribute the film.
  
Since then, the two sides have made concessions and according to court documents, conducted settlement talks last weekend.
