LT Hutton in trouble/Tupac album in Spring 2010

[woof]

Press Release: Last week Lawyers for Amaru Entertainment filed a cross-complaint against Morgan Creek Productions and James Robinson, Don Hardison and LT Hutton, individuals involved in Morgan Creek ’s executive affairs. The cross-complaint was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, March 16, 2009.

Morgan Creek filed suit against Amaru Entertainment last month, alleging that the company had “backed out of negotiations” and was currently “refusing to honor and perform a contract of a production of the film based on the life of Tupac Shakur.”

In actuality, there was never a legally binding document; nothing was ever signed and key deal terms were never agreed upon. Morgan Creek threatened other production companies and movie studios, alleging that it “owned” the rights to the Tupac picture when it didn’t, effectively killing any other deal Amaru could have made for the picture. Amaru Entertainment now seeks damages for Morgan Creek ’s lawsuit and their interference in the company’s business.

Skip Miller of Miller Barondess, LLP in Los Angeles, attorney for Amaru Entertainment, says: “The Morgan Creek lawsuit is heavy-handed interference with the Tupac movie. It has no merit whatsoever. Our cross-complaint is going to result in Morgan Creek having to pay millions in compensatory and punitive damages for harming our business.”

SoHood.com has obtained the document from the Amaru Entertainment Cross-Compliant lawsuit filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, March 16, 2009. In the document, the Tupac’s estate claims that Morgan Cheek was not giving Afeni any back end participation to make the Tupac biopic movie. And that James Robinson, Don Hardison, and LT Hutton allegedly used shady tactics of contacting third party studios to stop negotiating with Amaru Entertainment.

The Tupac estate Cross-Compliant lawsuit document also claims that Don Hardison accepted a draft proposal deal not yet finalized with out Afeni’s conditions or approval but he did so 34 days after the success of the Notorious Biopic film release which opened with huge Box office numbers.

What was troubling as well as surprising was LT Hutton’s involvement. In the Cross-Compliant lawsuit filed by the Tupac estate, they claim Hip-Hop producer LT Hutton allegedly threaten to speak to Afeni by contacting Tupac’s Aunt Gloria and telling her to accept Morgan Cheek’s deal conditions for the Tupac Biopic film.

Never the less, the December 17, 2008 draft proposal deal had no signatures of any of the parties, not even signature lines for the parties to sign on. It’s pretty clear-cut that there wasn’t any deal. It’s sad that Morgan Cheek Productions got too power hungry and didn’t work out a deal with the Tupac estate in an honest and good faith.

In related news, there is a screenplay written by Tupac while he was in prison titled Live 2 Tell, which is in production, Insomnia Productions will produce it. Preston Holmes (Hustle & Flow) will oversee the film production. There is another Tupac album in the works, the new owners of Death Row Records WIDEAwake CEO Lara Lavi and Senior Vice President John Payne are wishful to release it sometime Spring 2010. –Written by Edwin Diaz, Editor-in-Chief, SoHood.com and Research Contributor Mario Diaz, SoHood.com

[ironmike]

yeh most of those new pac albums sucked productionwise, coz afeni and amaru entertainment want the tracks to sound wack, therefore you get a wack product that makes the producers look bad.

lt hutton is a dope producer, and his work on "pac's life" doesnt reflect that.
