Film lawsuit settled for £6
Wed 31 Mar 12:34 PM
A lawsuit against political satire ‘Swing Vote’ has ended with a £6 payout by star Kelsey Grammer.
The lawsuit was filed by screenwriter Bradley Blakeman against the film’s stars, Kevin Costner and Kelsey Grammer, along with Disney studio bosses. Blakeman claimed that the 2008 movie was similar to a film he had written earlier.
The former presidential staffer alleges that he gave his script for ‘Go November’ to Grammer in 2006, and was stunned to see the similarities when he watched ‘Swing Vote’.
An LA court dismissed the claims against Disney and Costner, leaving Grammer as the last defendant still fighting the case, and now the ‘Frasier’ star, who was not involved with the screenwriting process for the film, has won his legal battle and agreed to settle the case with a £6 payout.
According to TMZ, Blakeman decided to accept the measly sum rather than incur potentially large legal costs.
