Yeah, that’s entirely believable, too. I don’t envy those who make their living creating satire and parody in our current world.

According to the lawsuit, StudioFest — the production company behind Better Half, and the lone plaintiff in the case — sent Franco and Brie’s agents a copy of the Better Half script along with a synopsis in 2020. But the pair passed on the project, and the suit alleges the defendants did so “because they wanted to produce the film themselves and have WME package the project with one of the agency’s own writers.”

The article goes into very specific similarities between the films and includes spoilers, so I won’t copy them here.

He’s also called for “anti-Trump Democrats” to “be arrested and tried for subversion and even treason against the U.S.A.” He shared another post saying “we are now living in a country our founding fathers fought to escape,” adding his own comment, “they’d have really stormed the Capital [sic] by now and hung most of those in office for the mess they’ve created.”

May his 401k evaporate.

It’s much easier to copy a movie most people haven’t heard of.

The tongue-in-cheek “sequel” to ‘Who Do You Think You’re Fooling’, this skewers the many sources of Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

Not too surprised. I believe most of his movies are pastiches or hommages.

Shen Yun is part of Falun Gong. Falun Gong also runs the right wing Epoch Times, and are huge supporters of Trump, and spreaders of misinformation including Q-Anon bullshit and anti-vax nonsense. Do not go to a Shen Yun show. Ever.
