On June 9, 2011, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society (SDC) formally filed an arbitration claim against Spider-Man Broadway, LLC, the Producer of 'Spider-Man/Turn Off the Dark' (the 'Producer'), for failure to pay royalties to the Director Julie Taymor.
According to the Daily Beast, Julie Taymor has not received payments owed for her pervious participation on the Spider-Man project. Says Laura Penn, executive director of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society that represents Taymor, 'Julie was paid $125,000 five years ago. For nine years of work on this project that is all she has been paid...It's startling. People assume it's an $85 million production and she made $10 million or walked away with a settlement in the six figures. And it's just not true...One of the requirements we have from producers,' Penn continued, 'is that they provide us with statements of activities, things like box-office receipts and operating costs. And not only are they not paying her, they're not providing us with those statements. We have no information.'
