“DISTURBIA” FACES LAW SUIT

The makers of Shia LaBeouf's thriller "Disturbia" are facing a second lawsuit over claims the movie is based on the classic story "Rear Window". A judge recently dismissed a suit which alleged movie bosses stole part of the film's plot from Cornell Woolrich's short story, which was turned into an Oscar-nominated film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954.

And now, just weeks after the copyright infringement suit was wrapped up, the executors of The Sheldon Abend Revocable Trust have filed a new lawsuit in a bid to revive the legal battle. The trust filed the breach-of-contract claim in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, October 28, alleging studio heads violated a settlement agreement originally put in place to protect Woolrich's story, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
