Producer sues Clint Eastwood

LOS ANGELES: A film producer has sued Clint Eastwood’s production company and studio giant Warner Bros over the director’s 2012 baseball movie “Trouble with the Curve,” alleging they stole his work. Ryan Brooks said the movie, about an aging baseball scout who takes his daughter along on one last recruiting trip, breached copyright law by borrowing various plot elements from a screenplay he wrote in 2008. The case “is about a conspiracy to steal the body, structure, theme and soul of a unique, original, copyrighted screenplay from a production company and its owner,” said the lawsuit.–AFP
