Alison Brie and Dave Franco Face Copyright Suit Over $17 Million Sundance Hit ‘Together’: ‘A Blatant Rip-Off’
Alison Brie and Dave Franco are facing a lawsuit alleging their Sundance hit 'Together' is a 'blatant rip-off' of the independent film 'Better Half.'
Alison Brie and Dave Franco have been hit with a copyright infringement suit over “ Together,” their independent horror film that sold for a reported $17 million after a bidding war at Sundance.
