Peter Jackson Sues New Line Cinema

Jackson has tried to resolve issues with New Line Cinema in regards to using like images, script, and characters…among
a number of other issues, a specific grievance listed was New Line’s
failure to pay for the script and song lyrics used in a licensed
Electronic Arts video game based on the films.

Jackson, alongside Walsh and their company Wingnut Films, listed 18
other allegations against New Line other than nonpayment from the game
profits. Neither New Line nor Stanton Stein, the entertainment lawyer
hired as the pair’s attorney in the suit, would comment, but Peter
Nelson, another attorney for Jackson’s Wingnut Films, commented in an
official statement that they “attempted to resolve our differences with
New Line Cinema through the normal auditing process. That has proven
unsatisfactory thus far.”

Is this another director hungry for more money or is he really doing the right thing here?
