'Spider-Man' director, producers settle NYC suit

(AP) ? Director Julie Taymor has reached a deal in New York to settle a lawsuit she brought over the Broadway production of "Spider-Man."

The settlement was disclosed in a document filed Thursday in federal court in Manhattan. Settlement terms were not immediately released.

Taymor had said the current hit Broadway production, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," was based on the unlawful use of her copyrighted written works.

Taymor was fired last year and the musical's script was rewritten after the $75 million production had trouble getting past previews. The musical has since become a success. The lawsuit had said damages would exceed $1 million.

Taymor sued the producers in November and they countersued. The producers say Taymor's treatment was based on pre-existing "Spider-Man" comics and films.
