Together
According to The Hollywood Reporter, StudioFest has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that James Franco and Alison Brie declined to star in a movie titled “Better Half” which StudioFest financed and owns the rights to, in 2023. StudioFest suspects that the couple chose not to act in this film because they planned to create another movie with writer-director Shanks (another WME client) that eventually became “Together,” a supernatural film featuring a similar plot about a couple whose bodies merge. The defendants named in the lawsuit are producers Franco and Brie, director Shanks, talent agency WME, and Neon, who purchased the movie from the Sundance Film Festival.
