From SciFi Wire:

Quote

The legal issues between Brian Quintana and Jon Peters, the two producers on the new Warner Brothers/Legendary Pictures reboot Superman: Man of Steel were pretty turbulent this past December. At the time, The Hollywood Reporter's legal blog reported on Quintana suing Peters over money owed him as well as over alleged sexual harassment and "outrageous demands of his services.... [including] perjury, the forgery of signatures, the procurement of illegal drugs, tax and other accounting fraud, and the assistance and cover-up of some extreme sexual behavior."

Also among the demands reportedly placed on Quintana by Peters was a "request to help cover up the statutory rape of Peters' daughter."

The New York Post now reports that Peters has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Quintana after he told Quintana, "I am going to cross this table and beat the ****ing **** out of you. I am going to kick your ass," at a deposition taking place at a Los Angeles law office on Aug. 12 pertaining to the sexual harassment lawsuit Quintana filed against Peters.

Quintana filed a police report on Aug. 14 that states, "Mr. Peters threatened to break my legs. I am afraid, nervous and anxious that Jon Peters is going to hurt or kill me." On Aug. 19, Quintana was granted a restraining order that would keep Peters from "threatening, assaulting or harassing him."

Peters' lawyer Joe Yanny claims the restraining order is unfounded and that Peters' losing his temper was due to Quintana throwing kisses at Peters during the deposition.

A hearing is set for Sept. 9 to determine how long the order will remain in effect.

Jon Peters is a douche, and tried to get Kevin Smith to write in really stupid shit for his Superman script.

Billeted list:

-Gay robot sidekick
-Polar bear guards at the Fortress of Solitude
-No "faggoty" capes
-Giant spider

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #5 on:** September 06, 2009, 12:39:31 AM »

I plan on including almost all of those things into a feature script at one point. Polar bears, spiders, etc.

Didn't Superman just have a reboot?

This is why Hollywood is useless.

"Hey. What was good 10, 20, 30 years ago? Let's redo it. Was the redo not good enough? OK, let's do over. What comics or cartoons were the kids watching in the 80s? Let's do that, too."

Burn, Hollywood, Burn.

Returns wasn't a reboot. It was a sequel to Donner's Superman and bits of Superman II.

Bocsius · « **Reply #8 on:** September 06, 2009, 01:26:51 AM »

In that case, recycle away.

Diunx · « **Reply #9 on:** September 06, 2009, 03:09:05 AM »

Yeah Superman Returns was pretty much Singer expresing his homosexual love for Donner, hopefully we'll get a real Superman movie in a couple of years.

I don't necessarily agree, but I like the Raimi-centric list.

I don't like Kevin Smith movies at all, but that was a fucking hilarious story.

Diunx · « **Reply #18 on:** September 06, 2009, 02:56:06 PM »

Yeah I love those Kevin Smith videos, he should stop doing shitty movies and mediocre comic books and do a talk show.

Diunx · « **Reply #19 on:** September 06, 2009, 03:24:06 PM »

There was no way that WWW would be good, the giant spider is actually the best thing about the movie.

John Peters

I was thinking the same thing while watching that video. I'd totally listen to his radio show

As good a list as that is, I wouldn't have believe it if I hadn't watched the whole 20 minutes. Good christ, it's stunning that anything decent ever gets made in Hollywood.
