STAN LEE CASE JUDGMENT

A judge in Manhattan federal court has ruled that Stan Lee, is entitled to 10 percent of the profits from movie and television productions involving Marvel character.

"This is pretty much a sweeping victory for us," said Lee's attorney, Howard Graff of the firm Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky of New York.

John Turitzin, Marvel's general counsel, said, "We intend to appeal those matters on which we did not prevail and to continue to contest vigorously the claims on which the court did not rule. We do not expect this decision to have an effect on our financial guidance for 2004, 2005 or our future prospects."

According to Marvel, the court rejected Lee's claim to share in monies received by Marvel from third-party licensees of movie-based merchandise.

The court did not rule on Lee's claim that he is entitled to participate in profits from Marvel's joint venture with Sony relating to Spider-Man movie merchandise or profits from Marvel's international Hulk movie merchandise licensing program with Universal Studios. The court said that those matters will have to be resolved by a jury.

FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE UPDATE

The Fantastic Four movie will be an origin story, which associate producer David Gorder thinks is the proper way to go with a first film.

"That's probably the smartest thing for those people who are not familiar with the comics," Gorder said. "They can get comfortable with the concept."

The FF's outer-space origins are highlighted in the first trailer for the film, which debuted on Friday in front of Elektra and is now online as part of the film's official site at www.fantasticfourmovie.com

The site also currently features stills from the film.

Look for more on FF soon here in The Continuum.

  • Artist Patrick Gleason has signed a two-year exclusive agreement with DC Comics. Gleason, the monthly penciller of Aquaman, also drew the Special JLA: Welcome to the Working Week.

    "Being a part of DC is like being a part of history," Gleason said. "I'm so honored that they want me among their ranks. It has been my absolute privilege to work with the best writers, editors and behind-the-scenes crews there. [Senior Editor] Pete Tomasi is one of those people. Without him, I wouldnąt be in this position. He's always been a stand-up editor and true to his word. I'll be proud to continue to work for him and DC Comics."
