Harper Lee's estate is suing Aaron Sorkin over his upcoming Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird.
The estate claims that Sorkin's adaptation of the novel deviates from the book.
It says he has violated an agreement between Lee and the producers.
Lee signed the contract eight months before her death.
Lee?s estate lawyer Tonja B. Carter compared Sorkin?s Atticus to more of ?an edgy sitcom dad in the 21st Century than the iconic Atticus of the novel."
To Kill a Mockingbird stars The Newsroom?s Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch.
It is scheduled to begin previews November 1 and open December 13.
