Exclusive: Nicholas Silosi-a co-writer and producer of dust dust Barry Levinson Assassination – A lawsuit against the film and the production of 308 United States was filed.
Originally Celozzi was submitted to the Los Angeles County Court last November, the lawsuit will go to a judge in April who will decide whether the legal procedure can continue.
Celozzi, a producer based in Los Angeles, accuses 308 of multiple contractual violations. 308 competitions for those claims, submitted a request to reject and made a comment below.
The lawsuit is chaotic and largely generated among many complex production agreements signed before Levinson's participation in the project. The April session will be the last stage in the months that lasted for months. Meat and potatoes are as follows.
Assassination It is the latest embodiment of a project launched by Silosi on allegations that his great uncle, the head of the mob at Chicago Sam Giancana, arranged the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Celozzi wrote the first scenario, entitled 2 days/1963David Mamit, the Politzer Prize for Guidance, after rewriting, in 2022. We broke the news at that time. Celozzi and Mamet agreed to share writing credit.
The Celozzi and Mamet deposit file later calls for a deal to license the scenario to 308, which would produce and finance the film with Mamet directed under a rights deal worth $ 850,000. The A-List collection, including the Al Pacino, John Travolta, Vigo Mortenn, the Shiites Labov, and Courtney Loew in Star.
Celozzi 308 is accused of later launch as a director and replaced it with Levinson without permission. Celozzi claims that the change at the last minute has been to stop the project and hide that 308 and its mother owner Corey Barge did not have all the money to finance the movie. After that, all the original actors of the film, with the exception of the Pacino, retreated from the project, according to the file.
The deposit also claims that the studio has intentionally removed Calozzi's credit on the film from press release, scenario copies and marketing materials. Celozzi argues that 308 and the former sales company in Arclight's plot to introduce Mamet-is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright as the only screenwriter to enhance international rights sales. Celozzi also competes for the historical accuracy of the Levinson and the text of 308.
The deposit claims that Mamit presented multiple fictional elements in rewriting, including a story that included the reporter of Dorothy Kellene. As a result, the lawsuit states that the three parties agreed to divide the basic story of the project into two separate features, which is a fictional version based on the rewriting scenario [Assassination] A second real crime version based on the original scenario, which Celozzi will develop with another director. The warning was that 308 was unable to claim, in promotional materials, that their project was the true story of the Giancana Crime family in the assassination of JFK. Celozzi claims that the company has violated the request, which caused “confusion in the market” and hindered its ability to produce its real project.
Livinson and Eclitte, who were previously dealing with sales in the project, were not immediately available for comment. Pia Pia Patatian's Cloud9 Studios is now shopping and will take the movie to the upcoming EFM. We have referred legal actors at Ceozzi to the deposit.
In response to our approach, the representatives of 308 said that Silistic's lawsuit is a “compassionate attempt to attract the attention of the media and extract the money that does not condemn, in a project that the prosecutor had little to.”
“The prosecutor was trying incomprehensible and uncomfortable to sabotage the project for some time, and this complaint, full of lies and exaggeration, strengthens this misleading task,” said the deputy for us in a statement.
“The lawsuit is mysterious and incomprehensible, because the plaintiff has no case. Normal and simple. The prosecutor clarifies the contracts associated with the crystal complaint that my client wins a day as a legal issue. We have submitted a request to reject this trivial condition, and we will submit our own counter supports.”
Celozzi seeks to get $ 1 million of damage. Despite the lawsuit, we understand that there are ambitions to start production in the film in the coming months. There was some ventilation and exit to cast. Our latest reports was that Jared Leito was holding talks alongside Jessica Shastein, Brendan Fraser, Brick Cranston and Al Pacino. The excitement is said to follow the female crime correspondence, Dorothy Kellemen (Shattian), who is suspected of being Harvey Oswald who did not act alone in the killing of President John F. Kennedy.
Celozzi will also be in EFM with the real crime project entitled ” November 1963: The President was killed. Roland Jovi (Task) Attached to the direct. K5 sells the movie.
