U2 and Former Spider-Man Director Settle


The legal battle being waged by the former Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark director over compensation for creative contributions she made to the Broadway production of the U2 scored musical has been settled - somewhat.  A deal described as 'tentative' leaves the possibility the case can be reopened within a two month period if terms are not being met.  Those terms are not being released. Julie Taymor had set a figure of $1 million for compensation and damages in a suit filed last November following her dismissal from the project. Bono and The Edge of U2 were identified as having suggested Taymor take over the production in a counter suit.  The trial had been expected to open in January.
