Per Variety, Hill, who was credited with the alias David Lee Henry, has filed a lawsuit against MGM and Amazon Studios for copyright infringement. The lawsuit is looking for “declatory relief” and is also asking for the court to block the release of the Road House remake.The lawsuit stated, “On Nov. 11, 2023, the Screenplay’s copyright thereby duly reverted to Hill under the Copyright Act.
