Voltron is a movie that has been in development for quite some time, now it’s facing some legal issues.

In a suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, indie producers James Young, Ford Oelman and Mark Costa of banners Animus Films and NHO Entertainment allege that St. Louis-based World Events, which holds rights to the television property, and its partner Kickstart Prods. negotiated illegally with other producers during what the producers say was an exclusive period…

…Credits have become a popular battleground for producers who say they are disenfranchised, particularly in the indie and specialty world, where many cooks can work on a project before it reaches the screen. In 2006, Bob Yari famously battled producers of “Crash” over credit on the eventual Oscar winner for best picture.

“Voltron” has been on Hollywood’s radar for years, but the project has taken a long path through development, with potential deals for Lionsgate, New Regency and Relativity all falling through before Atlas boarded it this summer

Basically this is just people demanding a slice of the pie because they contributed some of the ingredients. This is a money making business and people will stop at nothing to get it, whether it belongs to them or not.
