Julie Taymor is a director of the Broadway musical "Spider-Man:Turn Off the Dark". She took the producers to court because they were benefiting from Julie`s article contributions without permission. She is requesting them $75 million show in federal court on Tuesday , November 9, 2011.
According to her associates and friends, she was angry with they continued to do something dishonest ; to use much of her staging and script contributions, even after a much-ballyhooed overhaul of the musical in April and May. Her union has already been pursuing an judgement against the producers: Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris, complaining that she have more than $500000.
Therefore, the variety of process was expected to spread out over several months: for example the different sides have difficulty agreeing to a hearing schedule.
I like to watch the movies and DVDs. So, I was interested in this news about the arts. It costs the huge money to make the movies. I think that it is difficult from the movie staff to deal with the money. But I wish that they lose no time in solve the problem in order that those who fun the movies may enjoy without worry.
