Legal dispute over rights to Jim Sheridan’s Dublin biopic Sheriff Street
Sheridan was promised $150,000 (€140,000) for certain rights to the film screenplay but never received any money, it is alleged in court papers.
A Canadian production company is accusing a Hollywood film financier and producer of fraud, alleging he falsely claimed rights to the Sheriff Street screenplay penned by the In America director, who has recently been filming The Secret Scripture in Ireland.
