MGM Suing "Raging Bull 2"

Posted: July 4th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
MGM Suing Raging Bull 2Submit Comment
"Raging Bull 2," a new film that's both a prequel and a sequel to Martin Scorsese's original, is now being sued by MGM. The company is attempting to stop the production of the film, claiming that Jake La Motta (who Robert De Niro played in the 1980 movie) signed an agreement that gives MGM the right to any sequels.

Additionally, the studio wants to make sure the independent film is never released and is seeking compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages. In the complaint, MGM says that "Raging Bull 2" producers are publicly associating the sequel with the original movie.

MGM says that the sequel will irreparably tarnish the value of Scorsese's film, especially since Scorsese and De Niro are not involved.

MGM are looking for little $$$$$$$ if you ask me

Yep. They can't make money making films, so they'll make money suing everyone else.

"MGM says that the sequel will irreparably tarnish the value of Scorsese's film, especially since Scorsese and De Niro are not involved."

That's the most stupid argument I've ever heard.
trailertrash writes:

Yeah that's right mate ...

De Niro has done more harm to the rep of Raging Bull over the past few years than this sequel/prequel will ever do.

All MGM's eggs are in the James Bond basket this year.

I hate the sequel/ reboot or whatever you wanna call this train wreck like the next guy, but what MGM is doing is bullsh!t!!

"All MGM's eggs are in the James Bond basket this year."

Absolutely! Well said mate.

Finally a studio is trying to stop a stupid seuqel to a classic movie.

Unless no one could stop Idiana Jones 4 from being made.

Let's hope this teaches everyone that making a unesscary sequels to a classic movie isn't a good thing.

If this is what they are really worried about shouldn't they also be suing the director of "Little Fockers"? Pretty sure that tarnished the value of every film Dinero has ever been in.

MGM = Money Grubbing Motherf*ckers

It's too convenient that they decided to sue after post-production. They don't care about Scorsese's film or Lamotta's "signed contract" ... they are just embarrassed that they did not think of it first and put it into production ... stupid jackasses.

Amazing that some movie folks think they can escape from the legality of making a film without paying the proper dues and performing due diligence. Or kissing the "MGM Godfather's ring" to seek blessing. Serves these Producers right for trying to proceed on this project.

I just hope this movie isn't a the start of a new trend of Prequel's and Sequel's in the same
movie.

Why the hell didn't MGM wait for the film to come out before suing???
minkowski writes:
on July 4th, 2012 at 7:08:30 PM

^lol. Why would they cut themselves out of some profit?

Jesus. You let them make the movie, and then you swoop in to take a cut, or all, of the profit.

It's one of the oldest criminal rackets in history.

Duh.

Gretchen Mol is a top shelf babe. No doubt about it. I fell in love with her throwback pin-up good looks after The Thirteenth Floor. Rowr.

Bjsforeveryone probably fell in love with Craig Bierko. Or Armin Mueller-Stahl. Homo.

"So they still couldn't get some of the profit if they sued after???"

Yes.

And I must admit, because I'm a big guy with a big heart, I hastily misread what you wrote.

Seemed to me you were wondering why they didn't sue to keep the movie from being released, and that IS what they're doing, I think, which is just f*cking dumb.

MGM needs the cash. Let the thing go to release. DVD, VOD, Chinese street vendor, whatever, and then they can take their cut. Stupid of them.

Good enuff 4 me!

I imagine you to be like Napoleon Dynamite in real life or his brother. I take nothing you say to heart. Sometimes your funny, sometimes I agree with your words, sometimes I don't, sometimes your just a c*nt who acts like a girl but like really, its the internet. If you can't be a c*nt on here to people you don't know, then where???

I'm sure you don't care what I think about you just like I don't care that you think about me.
