Grammer, Costner sued over 'Swing Vote'

'Swing Vote'
Screenwriter Bradley Blakeman filed suit in New York yesterday claiming that the movie was based on his script Go November, which he allegedly sent to Grammer "in confidence" in spring 2006.
Blakeman stated that his script was plagiarised by Grammer, Costner and Disney as it featured the same "unique 'down to the wire' presidential election, hinging on swing voters" storyline as the Joshua Michael Stern-directed movie.
Grammer's representative Stan Rosenfield refuted the allegations, saying: "I am not sure why Kelsey was even named in this suit. He was an actor who signed on to the project after the script was written."
Swing Vote will be released in UK cinemas on September 26.
