Producers Granted TRO

The fight between former partners Bob Yari and former partners Cathy Schulman and Tom Nunan continues. The trio, which formerly constituted Bulls Eye Entertainment, fell out over who should get the credit for the hit movie “Crash”, which won a Best Picture Oscar this year. Schulman got a producer credit, Yari, based on a decision by the Producers’ Guild, did not. Now, an L.A. superior court judge has granted Schulman and Nunan a temporary restraining order prohibiting Yari from removing their names in advertising for the film “The Illusionist”, set to open in August. “The Illusionist”, based on a Steven Millhauser story, is set in Vienna, and centers on a magician who falls in love with an aristocrat. It stars Edward Norton. Arguments in “The Illusionist” dispute are set for June 23. Read more here (subscription may be required).
