Question:

The 2009 motion picture The Merry Gentleman was considered a commercial failure despite some critical acclaim. The film’s producers sued Michael Keaton, the film’s lead actor and director, and Keaton’s “loan-out company” that he uses for professional contracting, seeking $5.5 million in damages for breach of contract. The plaintiffs alleged that Keaton had, among other things, failed to timely prepare the first cut of the film, communicated directly with Sundance Film Festival threatening to boycott the festival if it did not accept his director’s cut instead of the producers’ preferred cut, failed to cooperate with the producers during the post-production process, and failed to promote the film. If you were on the jury, what questions would you want answered? Explain.
