Executive Producer Sues Over Promised Profits After Obsession Hit
Leonora Ann Darby, an executive/lead producer on the indie thriller Obsession, sues Tea Shop Productions’ co-founders James Harris and Mark Lane in California, alleging they reneged on a 2024 deal to give her one-third of net profits and equal producer status after Obsession became a box-office hit; the suit details her leadership in getting the film finished and distributed, and seeks a full accounting of profits and unpaid participation as Harris and Lane allegedly restricted her recognition and continued participation.
