The "Superman" Curse Continues... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MOVIE mogul Jon Peters has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from his "Superman: Man of Steel" co-producer, Brian Quintana -- for allegedly threatening to kapow! him.

The battle between the producers flared up on Aug. 12 when Peters was giving a deposition at a Los Angeles law office for a sexual harassment lawsuit Quintana filed against him. According to a transcript of the deposition, Peters shouted, "I am going to cross this table and beat the [bleep]ing [bleep] out of you. I am going to kick your ass."

Quintana, 41, told Page Six that Peters lunged at him during the session, adding, "His lawyer had to hold him back."

A police report Quintana filed Aug. 14 reads: "Mr. Peters threatened to break my legs. I am afraid, nervous and anxious that Jon Peters is going to hurt or kill me."

Then, on Aug. 19, Quintana got a court order forbidding Peters from threatening, assaulting or harassing him. A hearing is set for Sept. 9 to decide how long the order remains in effect.

Relations between the co-producers have been more charged than kryptonite. As we first reported last year, Quintana filed a suit claiming Peters sexually roughed him up and subjected him to "continuous and pervasive sexual harassment," including "multiple instances where he was physically [and] sexually harassed by Peters."

Peters' lawyer, Joe Yanny, told us, "This restraining order is ridiculous. Mr. Peters did not threaten Mr. Quintana. He is trying to manipulate the system." He said Peters "lost his temper" at the deposition because Quintana was throwing kisses at him. He also said Peters obtained a restraining order to prevent Quintana from saying he was an "employee" of Peters.

Four-times-married hairdresser-turned-moviemaker Peters once bragged he "became a Hollywood legend for seduction as much as production," and his claimed conquests include Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone, Kim Basinger and Salma Hayek.

Superman should have placed a restraining order against Jon Peters. Peters was one of the main factors in production for a new Superman movie being stuck in development hell in the first place. I'm not in the mood right now to delve into all of the details, but I'll just say that Peters ordered all of this outrageous crap that had nothing to do with the Superman mythos.
