Ex-Spider-Man Turn off The Dark director suing the broadway show for stealing her work.
Taymor is taking a new tact in an effort to claim profits from the show, alleging in her complaint that producers have continued to make use of her creative contributions. Producer Michael Cohl’s 8 Legged Productions is the defendant.

“Ms. Taymor regrets that the producers’ actions have left her no choice but to resort to legal recourse to protect her rights,” says her attorney, Charles Spada at Lankler Siffert & Wohl.


On top of that Julie is also asking $500,000 in royalties because of the time she was director, and for working on the show daily.


Personally it sounds as though Julie realized the show was actually successful and just wanted the cash, but I also have to agree with part of her reasoning. What do you think?
