James Franco<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0his former film student\u00a0have settled a lawsuit over\u00a0Franco’s movie,\u00a0The Disaster Artist<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/a>,\u00a0Ryan Moody<\/strong> filed a lawsuit in March 2018 against Franco’s production company, Rabbit Bandini Productions, as well as Seth Rogen<\/a><\/strong>‘s Point Grey Pictures, both of which produced the 2017 movie. Moody, who was once a student in Franco’s UCLA film class, claimed that he was\u00a0deceived, leading him to give up the rights to five early drafts that he wrote for the movie, for only $5,000.<\/p>\n

Moody claimed in the docs that, back in 2013, Franco asked him to adapt the book, but was later replaced when Point Grey Pictures wanted to hire more experienced writers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Moody also alleged that he was promised an associate producer credit on the film,\u00a0which he did not get it.<\/p>\n

Now, Moody’s attorney Brian M. Grossman<\/strong> confirms to E! news that the matter between his client and the production companies has been resolved. Court documents obtained by E! News also show that Moody’s attorney filed a request for dismissal on Jan. 8. Terms of the settlement have not been revealed.<\/p>\n

E! News has reached out to Franco’s production company and attorney for comment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
