Julie Taymor sues Spider-Man producers over unpaid royalties Sacked director and co-author wants more than $1m in compensation for work on Broadway's blockbuster musical |
A very famous example that I was able to think of where a
theatre production is in court is that of the famous Broadway musical
"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, directed by the famous Julie Taymor. She
sued the producers of the $75 million show in federal court back in November
2011 with clams that the show was profiting from her creative contributions
without compensating her. The suit is for at least $1 million from the
producers as well as future royalty payment. Ms. Taymor is claiming that even though
she is no longer on the project that the producers continued to use about
twenty-five percent of her original script but she is not being paid royalties
for that work.
