Fresh News About John Landis’ Lawsuit

Earlier, it was reported that John Landis sued Michael for failing to pay the royalties for the Thriller video. He then sued the company Nerderlander for the decision it made to produce the musical Thriller and stage it on Broadway, claiming that Michael and Nerderlander did not have permission to create such a musical. John Landis, the director of the legendary Thriller video and the behind-the-scenes film Thriller, holds part of the royalties for both. He is complaining about why, when Michael and Nerderlander were deciding to stage the musical on Broadway, they didn’t remember him. Hearings have been scheduled for March 2 and May 11 and May 18.
