Warner Bros. haunted by lawsuit from producers of 1990 It miniseries
The plaintiffs say they shepherded development of the 1990 miniseries, but that despite its success, a profit participation statement in 1995 showed the miniseries was in deficit with no profits to distribute. The two say they then waited 25 years for another profit statement when finally this past March, they got one showing they were entitled to $1 million in profits.
The portion of the dispute pertaining to the more recent movies figures to be the higher stakes battle given how "That the 2017 feature film is indeed a 'remake' is indisputable," states the complaint.? Clever lawyers may attempt to argue that the 2007 movie is a remake of the Stephen King book rather than the 1990 miniseries. Whether or not that matters probably depends on interpretation of the Konigsberg contract.
The litigation may also be destined to explore whether Warner Bros actually assumed obligations towards Konigsberg and Sanitsky. The lawsuit asserts the belief that the studio is the "successor-in-interest to Konigsberg's and Sanitsky's 1986 agreement with Lorimar-Telepictures," and whether that's specific enough could be challenged by Warner Bros.
