Brad Pitt May Be Sued By Universal

Universal claimed Pitt left a pay-or-play commitment and left open the option of suing him; Pitt’s camp claimed he was essentially forced out of a movie he’s been eager to topline for almost two years just because the studio wouldn’t wait for a strike resolution and a rewrite to bring the script back to a place that made him comfortable.

Pitt has joined other actors who are making a stand on the part of the writers. The writer’s strike has left Hollywood in turmoil but a resolution might not come soon enough for some big studio names and films. The long-term impact is already being felt by larger film companies and it is only a matter of time before Hollywood comes to a stand still.
