Elizabeth Banks SUED For Walk of Shame
Elizabeth Banks Walk of Shame may be one of the funniest movies we watched in awhile, but it seems she may be walking into a federal courthouse, that is ’cause she just got sued for allegedly ripping off a script for her latest movie, Walk of Shame.
CelebNMusic247.com has learned viz TMZ that Banks has just been SLAPPED with a lawsuit by Dan Rosen who apparently pitched the idea for a movie called “Darci’s Walk of Shame” to Banks and her producer husband Max Handelman during a 3-hour meeting in 2007.
Here is what’s being reported about Banks and her Walk of Shame lawusit.
According to the lawsuit, after Rosen gave Banks and Handleman his script … he never heard from them again.
Rosen says there are too many similarities between Banks’ movie — which came out May 2 — and his story to be coincidental.
He says both works share similar characters and plot — both are about a pretty blonde in her 30s who goes through a breakup, gets drunk and has a one-night stand with a younger man, then has to get to an important event wearing an inappropriate outfit from the night before.
In other words … it’s like every other rom-com script in Hollywood. Rosen is suing for at least $500k … PLUS all the profits from the movie.
