Bullet

(2014)

FUNimation Entertainment v. SC Films International, Inc.

Plaintiff alleges that Defendant Nicholas Lyon is making his own version of “Bullet” in violation of the injunction prohibiting Defendants from making, providing, or distributing a version of the film. Defendants respond that Defendant Lyon has a contractual right to complete a director’s cut of the film and that Defendants are unclear whether the preliminary injunction prohibits Defendant Lyon from fulfilling his rights and obligations under the terms of the contracts in dispute.

Judgment: The Court recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion Amended Emergency Motion to Enforce Preliminary Injunction and for Civil Contempt be DENIED without prejudice to refiling. The district court has ordered all parties to arbitration.
