StudioFest accuses Dave Franco and Alison Brie of copyright infringement, claiming they crafted the script for the body horror alongside WME client Michael Shanks after the duo declined an offer to star in its movie. In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in California federal court, StudioFest claims Dave Franco and Alison Brie turned down an offer for them to star in Better Half, a 2023 movie it financed and owns the rights to, with the aim of crafting a copycat film alongside another WME client. Named in the complaint: WME, which allegedly facilitated the copyright infringement; Franco and Brie, both of whom are credited as producers and star in the film; Michael Shanks, who wrote and directed Together; and Neon, which bought the title for $17 million in one of the richest deals in Sundance history and is planning an August theatrical release.
