Looks like the king of gangster movies might find himself in a courtroom drama.
Writer and actor Mickey De Hara filed the lawsuit last month in London High Court.
De Hara claims that he was hired by Ritchie to write a screenplay for the sequel to 2008sRocknRolla.
The pair had previously worked together on2000sSnatch, and De Hara received an associate-producer credit onRocknRolla.
Ritchie ultimately passed on the script, telling De Hara that the time of the gangster movie was over.
He specifically points to one scene involving Colin Farrell as a direct copy of a scene from his screenplay.
Ritchie has not yet commented on the situation.
