Sahara author sues over screenplay

Best-selling author Clive Cussler is suing the billionaire movie producer of Penelope Cruz's latest movie for refusing to give him screenplay approval.

The Sahara writer is taking legal action against oil magnate Philip Anschutz's Bristol Bay Productions over the $130m (€99.6m) film version for failing to consult him on the script as stipulated in his contract, reports Fox News correspondent Roger Friedman.
