LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, HBO and Ballers creator Stephen Levinson are being sued for alleged copyright infringement.
Two writers, Everette Silas and Sherri Littleton, claim in a suit filed in California Thursday the concept of the recently renewed HBO show was snatched by the Mayhem production company from negotiations over series they worked on called Off Season. Mayhem previously produced The Game Plan starring Johnson and Wahlberg's Invincible.
