Court Date Set for Godzilla Producers vs. Legendary Pictures

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff set a trial date of March 17, 2015 for Godzilla producers Roy Lee, Dan Lin, and Doug Davidson's countersuit against production company Legendary Pictures.

The California appeals court found in favor of the producers' rights to hold a jury trial against Legendary Pictures earlier this month. Legendary Pictures attempted to block the trial citing an arbitration clause in the 2011 draft contract sent to the producers, but the producers asserted that the contract was never signed.

The former producers are seeking US$25,000 developmental fee, fixed compensation of US$1.3 million, and three percent of the first-dollar gross receipts of the film based on alleged oral agreements made with Legendary Pictures.

The Godzilla film will premiere on May 16.
