RYAN MOODY v. RABBITBANDINI PRODUCTIONS, LLC

The Disaster Artist movie 2017
Ryan Moody is allegedly the first, uncredited screenwriter of the movie ‘The Disaster Artist’, which has been nominated for a “Best Adapted Screenplay” Oscar. Through misrepresentations made by Rabbit Bandini Productions and its managing agents James Franco, Vince Jolivette and Iris Torres, Moody was induced to sell his screenplay for only $5,000.

More particularly, these individuals promised Moody that if he sold his ‘The Disaster Artist’ screenplay to RabbitBandini for the modest sum of $5,000, then RabbitBandini would give Moody an associate producer credit on ‘The Disaster Artist’ and engage Moody to write and direct another similarly budgeted movie called ‘On the Bus’.  In fact, however, RabbitBandini considered ‘On the Bus’ to be a micro-budget film and, after Moody had signed away his rights to ‘The Disaster Artist’, Jolivette eventually told Moody that RabbitBandini would produce ‘On the Bus’ on a $50,000 budget. Moreover, RabbitBandini did not give Moody an associate producer (or any other) credit on ‘The Disaster Artist’. Had Moody been aware of the true facts, he never would have sold ‘The Disaster Artist’ for only $5,000, and he brings this action to rescind that agreement.
