‘The Pitt’ Breach Of Contract Battle Between Michael Crichton’s Widow & Warner Bros Discovery Given Official Greenlight By Judge – Update
The legal battle over whether The Pitt is derivative of ER or not had its first major faceoff in court.
Within hours of Deadline exclusively revealing Sherri Crichton’s legal action in August, Warner Bros Discovery called the claims “baseless.” Centering on IP and whether or not the similarities between the shows went further than genre and lead actor, the David Zaslav-run media giant followed that up more formally a few months later. (L-R) The ER cast: Noah Wyle as John Carter, Sherry Stringfield as Susan Lewis, Anthony Edwards as Mark Greene, Julianna Margulies as Carol Hathaway, George Clooney as Doug Ross, Gloria Reuben as Jeanie Boulet and Eriq La Salle as Peter Benton Warner Bros. 2023 The series starred Wyle, Gloria Reuben, George Clooney, Eriq La Salle, Sherry Springfield, Anthony Edwards and Julianna Margulies and saw directing efforts from the likes of Quentin Tarantino too.
