Steve Coogan and firms sued over Richard III film

Actor Steve Coogan and production firms involved in the making of the film “Richard III” are facing a lawsuit regarding alleged copyright infringement. The lawsuit, filed by a group of historians, claims that the film used historical materials without proper permission.

The film, which explores the life and reign of King Richard III of England, has been praised for its accuracy and attention to detail. However, the plaintiffs argue that certain scenes in the film closely resemble historical documents and were used without proper attribution.

Steve Coogan, who stars in the film as King Richard III, has yet to respond to the lawsuit. The production firms named in the lawsuit have denied any wrongdoing and stated that they followed all legal protocols in the making of the film.

As the lawsuit continues to unfold, both fans of the film and historians alike are watching closely to see how the case will be resolved.
