Money Train lays out his thoughts on John Singleton's Paramount lawsuit...and the comparison to Perry's rise to stardom.
John Singleton filed suit against Paramount and MTV Films for breach of contract for not producing and/or distributing projects through a deal inked after Hustle and Flow.
It is an amazing story of how successful Tyler Perry has become since 2005 while John Singleton in that same span of time is now suing Paramount Pictures for $20 million because they prevented him from making two low budget $3.5 million films.
Maybe John's main legal argument should be that if Paramount had made his films he would have become as financially successful and Hollywood's current top earner like Tyler Perry, produced three TV shows and built his own film studio in LA? We will never know because Paramount never gave John a legitimate chance to blow up as big as Tyler Perry is now!
