Scorsese hit with huge lawsuit

Martin Scorsese has been hit with a one million dollar lawsuit by a fellow producer who claims to have been waiting 13 years for the Gangs of New York director to get around to a film he allegedly agreed to make.

Gianni Nunnari, whose previous films include From Dusk Till Dawn and the Brad Pitt thriller Seven, has filed a breach of contract action in Manhattan Supreme Court, claiming that Scorsese failed to come through on a 1990 agreement to bring Shusaku Endo’s novel Silence to the screen.
