Logan PaulThe reckless filming of a corpse hanging in a Japanese forest torpedoed a movie he was starring in and it cost the production company millions … according to a new lawsuit.
Planeless Pictures has just filed a lawsuit against the YouTuber, claiming that in 2016 they entered into an agreement with him to make a movie – with Logan as a fictional version of himself – called ‘Airplane Mode’, which assumes was to be a ghost to contemporary trendsetters, such as the Paul brothers and other social media.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Planeless claims that Logan should star, write and help produce the movie, and he agreed to get other influencers on board as well, including Jake Paul, Juanpa Zureta, Nick Bateman, Amanda Cerny and others. The idea was that they would distribute it via YouTube and other social media platforms – via the pages of the influencers – in a new, revolutionary way to market and earn the film.
Planeless even says that Google signed a $ 3 million licensing agreement with them for the film – but they claim that it all collapsed when Logan filmed himself foolishly in Aokigahara, Japan (also known as the ‘suicide forest’), where he documented the suspension. death of a man nearby. You know what happened next after that, but according to Planeless’ claim, they say that his leg movement completely destroyed the film contract.
Planeless claims Logan deliberately posted the suicide video knowing it would kill their deal, but he did it anyway. Sure enough, Planeless says Google tore up their contract … leaving them with more than $ 3 million – something they now say Logan owes them.
