Copshop writer Kurt McLeod has settled a lawsuit against his managers accusing them of having a conflict of interest when they negotiated his deal for the movie.
Lawyers for McLeod and Zero Gravity Management founders Eric and Mark Williams on Wednesday notified the court of a deal to resolve the case.
The case raised questions surrounding potential conflicts of interest managers may have when they’re also producers on a film their clients are involved in.
The guild concluded that the “story by” credit should be McLeod and Mark Williams, while the “screenplay by” credit should be McLeod and Joe Carnahan, Copshop’s director.
McLeod accused Zero Gravity of fabricating documents to credit Mark Williams as an author on the script.
