Dave Franco and Alison Brie’s ‘Together’ Director Responds to Idea Theft Lawsuit and Calls It ‘Deeply Unsettling’
Michael Shanks is upset that his feature debut, the Dave Franco and Alison Brie Sundance hit 'Together,' is being accused of idea theft.
In a statement on Wednesday, Shanks said his film is rooted in his own personal story of love and loss, and that he finds the accusation incredibly dismaying. “To now be accused of stealing this story — one so deeply based on my own lived experience, one I’ve developed over the course of several years — is devastating and has taken a heavy toll.” Neon and WME said in a statement Wednesday that the lawsuit is aimed solely at “drumming up fifteen minutes of fame for a failed project.”
