X-Files Creator sues Fox January 18, 2006
Posted by Skizo in TV/Movies.trackback
Chris Carter, maker of the hit series “The X-Files” sued 20th Century Fox, accusing the studio of “screwing him out of millions of dollars in residuals related to the show’s profitable syndication agreement”.
“Fox’s TV production arm breached a 1998 contract with Carter (…) because the financial terms turned out to be ‘too favorable’ to the creator at the expense of the studio.”
Fox licensed X-Files reruns to an in-house network, which cheated Carter out of a generous amount of money if the episodes were put up on the open market. A similar lawsuit was brought against Fox by David Duchovny, who played Fox Mulder in the series, a while ago which coincidentally involved the same network.
