VIDEO : James Franco?s Production Company Sued Over ?The Disaster Artist? Script

James Franco?s former teaching assistant Ryan Moody is suing Franco?s RabbitBandini Productions and Seth Rogen?s Point Grey Pictures. The focus of the lawsuit is the script for ?The Disaster Artist." It alleges that Moody was ?induced? to sell the screenplay for the Oscar-nominated movie for $5,000. As part of the deal he would receive a credit on the film that he never received.
The suit said that Moody, Franco and RabbitBandini managing agents Violet Jolivette and Iris Torres promised him an associate producer credit on ?The Disaster Artist? if he sold the script, and give him the opportunity to write and direct the ?similarly budgeted? movie ?On the Bus.?
