Producer alleges she was cut from profits after rescuing Obsession’s cut
Leonora Ann Darby, an executive producer on Obsession, filed a California state suit accusing Tea Shop Productions’ James Harris and Mark Lane of breaching a 2024 agreement to treat her as an equal producer and share one-third of net profits after Obsession became a global hit, despite her central role in restoring the film’s cut and finalizing it for release. The complaint seeks a full accounting and unpaid profit participation, arguing a years-long pattern of diminishing her recognition and compensation even as the movie grossed hundreds of millions on a tiny budget.
