Steve Coogan and firms sued over Richard III film

Steve Coogan and a number of firms are being sued over their involvement in the production of a film about King Richard III. The lawsuit alleges that the film, which is set to be released later this year, infringes on the rights of the plaintiff, who claims to be the true owner of the story of Richard III.

Coogan, best known for his work in comedic roles, has not yet commented on the lawsuit. The firms involved in the production of the film have also declined to comment.

It remains to be seen how this legal action will impact the release of the film and the reputations of those involved. Watch this space for updates as the story develops.
