A producer behind the original 'It' miniseries is suing Warner Bros., alleging they breached contract by making the film adaptations without him:
novel back in the early 1980s while they were heading up Telepictures. The duo developed a miniseries adaptation for ABC, but left Telepictures after it merged with Lorimar.But the lawsuit says they inked a deal with Lorimar granting them the titles of “non-exclusive executive producers,” which means they get rights and involvement in any sequel, spinoff or remake of the miniseries, which they argue includes the two film remakes.
Sanitsky is claiming that Warner Bros. stopped forking over profit statements for the miniseries back in 1995, and when the studio issued its first participation statement since then in March, it showed that Warner Bros. owed the two $1 million—a number Sanitsky says is significantly understated. He also alleges Warner Bros. never consulted him or Konigsberg about either film.
