'Super Size Me' Gets Sued For Office Space

[Friday, May 20th, 2005]
A company that gave office space to Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock in return for a share in the company that made the hit film about eating fast food is suing him for $40 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Attorney Bill Kelly said on Wednesday his client Cast Iron Partners, which helps start-up companies with office space and business advice, took a 25% share in Spurlock's company in early 2002 and was suing for his failure to share profits.

"We bet on this long shot and it hit and they're basically trying to keep all the money," Kelly told Reuters.

Spurlock said this week the Oscar-nominated film, in which he eats only McDonald's fast food for a month, had grossed around $30 million after playing in some 65 countries. But he said he had seen little of the money since so much went to pay for distribution and other costs.
