“‘Op-Fortitude’ has still not completed assembling its cast and crew and has not been able to begin the production process in earnest,” the lawsuit stated. “‘Op-Fortitude’ has instead been forced to essentially begin from scratch.”
I don't know who's at fault here, but I suspect there's a little on both sides.

I guess $500,000 is Scorsese's fee for using his name. Lol whats surprising is the newbie writer had $500K to hire MS

$500k is a lot, Tucker Teague! I wonder if Simon Afram and Edward Kahl would've had better results if they used that money to pitch the script or hire a director to make them a proof of concept/short film to get an A-list cast and director interested.
