Michael Crichton Estate Sues Warner Bros. and Max Over Noah Wyle's 'The Pitt'
Aug 27, 2024, 09:23 PM
The estate of the late Michael Crichton has filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. TV, producer John Wells, and actor Noah Wyle, alleging that their upcoming Max series 'The Pitt' is an unauthorized reboot of the iconic medical drama 'ER'. The lawsuit, filed by Crichton's widow, claims breach of contract and accuses Wells and Wyle of personal betrayal. According to the suit, the concept for 'The Pitt' emerged after plans for an 'ER' sequel were scrapped, with Crichton's contributions allegedly removed from the project. Warner Bros. has dismissed the claims as baseless, stating that 'The Pitt' is a new and original show, distinct from 'ER'.
