And, and the directors are, are s- are savvy, right? Uh, so the two producers of note with them are, uh, James Harris and Mark Lane.
Joel ReevesHOST
They're the ones from, uh, Blumhouse.
Joel ReevesHOST
Now, what's interesting here is they're also the ones named in the lawsuit, which makes sense.
Travis ChappellHOST
No, that actually makes sense.

Uh, in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 28th, producer Leonora Ann Darby accuses Tea Shop Productions co-founders and fellow Obsession producers James Harris and Mark Lane of failing to acknowledge her key role in producing the film, and reneging on a agreement to treat her as an equal producer at the company.
EricHOST
Darby's attorneys claim that the, that though she was promised net profit participation in the horror hit, she was ultimately locked out of its record-breaking profits.

What are you feeling now?
John CampeaHOST
No one-wish Willow Zinger here, but the long 135-page court filing.
John CampeaHOST
Darby says T-Shop Productions, James Harris and Mark Lane, you might have just saw their name on the producers list for Obsession as well, were playing her for a while, and the Indy Navaretti and Michael Johnson starring in Session proved the final straw.
John CampeaHOST
Specifically, Darby says that the duo brought her on board at their failing and fledgling company in 2019 with offers of being an equal producer, including with respect to compensation, company direction, project decisions, financial transparency, and access to business opportunities.
John CampeaHOST
among those aforementioned opportunities were lane and harris's 2024 promise allegedly reneged on at least once that darby would have received one-third 33.33 percent of the net profits due to t-shop films on the lead she produced together with direct participation in the applicable collection uh account management agreements okay so basically The suit alleges that not only did that happen with Obsession, but there were multiple productions that this company got involved with, that she helped bring to fruition, crossed the finish line on, and that there were other productions she's worked on with them that they didn't keep their promises as well.
