June 1, 2010: Warner Refutes "Smallville" Lawsuit Claim

The Hollywood Reporter has an update on the other Superman lawsuit, the one where "Smallville" co-creators Miles Miller and Al Gough along with co-producer Tollin/Robbins Productions are suing Warner Bros. for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty.

    Warners is trying to kill the breach of fiduciary duty claim by arguing that no joint venture exists between the producers and the studio. That's a common tactic in Hollywood accounting litigation: A profit participant sues for both breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty because damages can be higher, and the studio will try to eliminate the fiduciary duty claim on demurrer by arguing, as Warners does here, that it doesn't actually owe any fiduciary duties because the profit-sharing relationship doesn't amount to a partnership or joint venture.
