Miramax sues Daily Mail's Pearson
Miramax Film has sued British writer and Daily Mail columnist Allison Pearson for breach of contract for failing to deliver a promised novel.
The film studio accuses Pearson of accepting $700,000 five years ago in return for the rights for an unpublished book titled I Think I Love You.
The suit, filed on Friday in Manhattan federal court, said although Pearson accepted the money in August 2003 under a two-year contract she failed to deliver the novel and ignored requests by Miramax since 2006 about the book's whereabouts.
Pearson's previous novels include I Don't Know How She Does It, published by Vintage.
