LOS ANGELES (AP) - NBC Universal is acting out "Law and Order" by taking the show's executive producer to court.
The studio wants the court to clarify a contract it signed with Dick Wolf.
Wolf says the contract essentially guarantees him a kill fee, or payment for producing 48 extra episodes of "Law and Order" if NBC Universal decides it doesn't want the show anymore.
But, the studio says in the court papers it has made no such promise.
Wolf's spokeswoman accuses NBC Universal of "trying to rewrite an existing contract."
Along with the "Law and Order" mothership, Dick Wolf produces "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Law and Order: Criminal Intent."
