Overview

• The producers of Better Half filed a May lawsuit accusing Together’s makers of a “blatant ripoff” based on both films’ premise of a couple bound by a mysterious force.
• In a May 21 letter, defense attorney Nicolas Jampol argued that Together is a supernatural body horror thriller created independently and noted its screenplay draft was registered with the WGA in 2019.
• Plaintiffs have pointed to specific overlaps—such as a bathroom hide-out scene and shared cultural references to the Spice Girls—while the defense maintains these elements are generic.
• Together starred Dave Franco and Alison Brie at Sundance, sold to Neon for $17 million and is scheduled for theatrical release on July 30.
• Defendants have urged the suit’s withdrawal and warned they will pursue attorney fee reimbursement if the litigation continues.
