The lawsuit between Julie Taymor and the producers of Spider-man is settled, but one issue remains: what will become of the documentary by Jacob Cohl? I would kill to see this, and if Taymor succeeds in blocking a release - I will plot her downfall for the rest of my days. I used to admire Taymor during the time of Lion King. I've grown to despise her. Does anyone have any info on the documentary?
From the ARTINFO blog:
"One of the more fascinating legal issues in the suit, which was not addressed in the brief statement, is whether or not a documentary on the musical will ever see the light of day. Jacob Cohl, the son of Michael Cohl, one of the lead producers of “Spider-Man,” is said to have explosive footage of the unfolding drama as the musical lurched toward opening night in June of 2011.
In her lawsuit, Taymor demanded that the documentary never be released, maintaining that “it would causes [her] to suffer irreparable harm” in terms of her future career. A person close to the production who was there while the cameras were rolling agreed with that assessment. “Jacob got the fights, the feuds, and the egos. He got all the screaming and crying and emotional meltdowns. Things were so insane during that time that you forgot that the cameras were rolling,” the production associate said. "I can’t imagine that Julie would ever allow it to be released.”
