Paula Deen smacked in face with ham
Friday, November 20
LOS ANGELES, June 6 (UPI) -- A suit filed by "The Exorcist" author William Blatty against Morgan Creek Productions says he was not paid for a recent sequel to the horror film.
Blatty filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking $750,000, which he said was guaranteed by the studio if it made a second sequel to the original 1973 film, The Hollywood Reporter said Monday.
Blatty's attorneys said an October 1996 settlement called for payments to be made of $930,000 for a first sequel and $750,000 for any sequel thereafter.
Blatty said he was paid for the first 2004 sequel, "Exorcist: The Beginning," but not for the recently released, "Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist."
Morgan Creek could not be reached for comment.
