'Tim Hines has claimed from the onset that he has an "acknowledgement from Paramount" in writing that "they have a right to make a movie based on The War of the Worlds".'
Paramount only accepted that Tim had the right to make the movie. It has never been mentioned by Tim that they gave him the right to distribute it.
Knowing Tims optimistic outlook, he probably thought (like most) "If I now have the right to make it, I must also have the right to distribute it" - which is NOT what Paramount said. He should have got confirmation that he could make AND DISTRIBUTE the movie - he probably got too excited at being able to finally make it that he forgot about distribution until the last minute...[/glow]
