Your Black World reports.
John Singleton is suing both Paramount Pictures and MTV films, stating that they failed to follow through on a promise to distribute two films for him.
The lawsuit claims that Singleton let Paramount distribute Hustle & Flow in 2005 for $9 million, which is a relatively small amount of money compared to what he could have earned.
The tradeoff, according to the lawsuit, is that Paramount agreed to finance two more Singleton films in the future. The only stipulation was that the budgets would not exceed $3.5 million.
The suit mentions that Paramount got rich off “Hustle & Flow,” but didn’t follow through on the rest of their commitments. Singleton says that when the time came for them to greenlight his projects, they placed a series of restrictions on them which made it impossible to get the films done.
The suit is for $20 million
