I seem to remember something about the rights reverting if they don't keep them active.
My understanding (which I have not researched fully) is that this is a whole new licensing agreement that WB/NL entered into with the new rights-holder, Embracer, after the latter purchased the rights from Saul Zaentz' company (whatever it was called at the time).

I'm glad they've restored the fan film, but I'm not sure I buy the "it was a mistake" angle, unless the mistake was "we failed to anticipate the fan response". :V But yeah, the 2009 version was the first thing I thought of. I hope they at least change the working title for this new film.
Good idea. Should I move the other posts to this thread?
