As I understand it,
1. Scott Rudin was aware of the Sergal version when he contracted with Harper Lee (still alive at the time) and Aaron Sorkin.
2. The Sergal contract with Lee says that DPC can a) only license Amateur productions, and b) that they cannot license any productions in locations within 25 miles of a city with a population of more than 150,000 when there is a first class production of any version of "Mockingbird" in New York City. There may be a time element there but I don't remember.
3. DPC ignored both a) and b) and licensed both Amateur and professional production in all areas, regardless of proximity to large cities.
So it seems Rudin was fully in the right. How he handled it is another story... |
