Blizzard’s Diablo

Blizzard has been granted preliminary injunction against New Line Cinema prohibiting them from using the term ‘Diablo’ in any form. New Line had been planning a drug-war movie titled ‘Diablo’, and had changed the title to “El Diablo” last month.

According to Blizzard’s press release, the company owns “a pending U.S. intent-to-use trademark application for “Diablo” in connection with the production and distribution of motion pictures,” which makes me wonder if we should expect a Diablo movie any time soon.

Personally, I’m all for having the Lamborghini Corporation rename their car to “MonkeySchooner”, but that’s just me.
