Lord of the Rings movie slapped with another lawsuit
February 11, 2008 by admin
New Line Cinema has been slapped with another Lord of the Rings lawsuit.
A few years ago Rings director Peter Jackson sued the movie studio for underpaying him by millions.
Now, on Monday, reps for the estate of Lord of the Rings creator, J.R.R. Tolkien, filed a suit in LA claiming New Line failed to pay them their cut of gross profits. The estate claims that the film company made $6 billion off the three Rings movies and is required to pay 7.5% of gross receipts to the estate and its partners.
