Hollywood has been especially curious about producer Larry Gordon's role smack in the middle of this Fox vs Warner Bros lawsuit over Watchmen. In federal judge George Feess' latest ruling, there's this interesting footnote:

Carl Icahn Now Wants ALL Of Lionsgate 
I still look at this and wonder how in hell Warner Bros. legal Dept. cleared this production. Presumably they would have reviewed all the paper involved…
Oh that’s very interesting. Sounds like the judge is just a wee bit ticked and just put a gag on Gordon. Sounds like Gordon was done talking in the deposition and now the Judge is done listening.
Excellent.
Although this footnote seems juicy, it’s pretty plain and common statement of legal practice. Once a factual record has been closed and a decision issued based on that record, a court is highly reluctant to allow further evidence. Especially in a case like this, where a party had his chance to offer evidence into the record but declined, a judge is not disposed to allowing that same party to come back later and say, “Hey Judge, I have more evidence now that contradicts your decision!” Judge Feess was obviously not happy with the dubious attorney-client privilege argument but what he’s saying here is a routine legal principle. After the factual record is closed, it’s hard to reopen it.
warners legal is so lame! they really suck! remember dukes of hazard? Maybe they should hire some real lawyers, like the ones at sony
