Paramount Wants New Trial: Paramount Pictures Corp....

Paramount Wants New Trial: Paramount Pictures Corp. will seek a new trial in humorist Art Buchwald’s lawsuit that seeks a cut of the profits from the movie “Coming to America.” Buchwald has claimed that Paramount based the film on an idea of his. In December, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge found seven provisions of the contract between Paramount and Buchwald and producer Alain Bernheim “unconscionable.” In requesting a new trial, Paramount called the judge’s ruling premature.
