Spider-Man Producers Sue Taymor and Stage Directors and Choreographers Society for Conspiracy
Stage Directions: The producers of the musical SPIDER-MAN Turn Off the Dark today filed an answer and countersuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Tuesday against Julie Taymor and her company, LOH, Inc. The producers’ answer responds to the complaint that Taymor and LOH filed on November 8, 2011, in which they assert that the current version of the musical infringes Taymor’s alleged copyrights and also raise certain contractual and state law claims, including a claim seeking to bar the producers from bringing SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark to non-Broadway venues.

I feel like I'm following the divorce of two high-profile celebrities in People magazine. Even though new developments surface all the time, and each party thinks of something new to accuse the other one of, the heart of the matter is that Taymor is mad because Spiderman was successful without her, and thus wants to make it less so, whereas the producers are resentful that they hired this acclaimed director, and she wasn't as wildly successful as she has been in the past. So now they're going to bore/anger us with their pettiness until someone decides that they're not worth reading about/being interested in anymore, and the media stops writing about them.
