Warner Bros. Fires Back at Crichton Estate Over Claim ‘The Pitt’ Is an ‘ER’ Reboot: It’s a ‘Completely Different Show’
Warner Bros. lawyers argued that Max's 'The Pitt,' starring Noah Wyle, is a completely different show from 'ER' and not a reboot.
Warner Bros. is seeking to throw out a lawsuit filed by the estate of Michael Crichton, which argued that the forthcoming Max series “ The Pitt ” is an unauthorized reboot of “ER.” His widow, Sherri, sued in August, accusing John Wells, Noah Wyle and others of going behind her back to create “The Pitt,” which she alleged is “ER” in all but its title. She asserted her husband’s “frozen rights” to give consent to any “ER” reboot, and talks on how to properly credit him and compensate the estate ultimately broke down.
