Pitt stars as Beane within this September's 'Moneyball,' based from the best-selling book of the identical title. Pitt initially signed onto the project in 2007. Why made it happen take multiple company directors, authors, recastings along with a public collapse before it got made?

Ryan O'Neal Defamation Lawsuit Challenged in New Court Filing (Exclusive)

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images The film/TV producer sued for defamation by Ryan O'Neal has fired back at the actor, claiming in a strongly worded court filing that the lawsuit based on comments concerning a fight over artwork once owned by O'Neal ex Farrah Fawcett should be dismissed. Craig Nevius, who produced a TV show about the late actress (Chasing Farrah) and worked on a documentary about her fight against cancer, claims in a motion filed Thursday that O'Neal wrongly sued him for excercizing his free speech on an issue of public concern. For those late to the story, O'Neal was sued in July by the University of Texas, which claims that Fawcett bequeathed it all of her artwork when she passed away in 2009. The Fawcett artwork includes an Andy Warhol portrait that O'Neal claims is his. When Nevius, who was friendly with Fawcett before she died, spoke out about his knowledge of Fawcett's artwork and helped the university with its case, O'Neal sued him for $1 million for defamation. O'Neal, who the motion says is "now better known for his womanizing, drug abuse, various criminal arrests and savage beatings of his children," argued that Nevius's statements in Star magazine and on Good Morning America defamed him. Now Nevius is fighting back, filing a motion under California's anti-SLAPP statute, which allows for certain lawsuits concerning public speech to be dismissed at an early stage. Nevius claims O'Neal's lawsuit is wrong because he never told the university or the investigators that O'Neal had "stolen" anything. "Nevius never stated to any reporter that O'Neal had 'stolen' or 'concealed' the Warhol portrait and never said that there was any 'police' investigation of O'Neal," according to the motion. Nevius says the real reason for the lawsuit is clear: "to get Nevius to stop providing information that he has which appears to evidence the fact that O'Neal was not prepared to deal with Ms. Fawcett's passing without a $30 million souvenir." O'Neal recently asked for more time to respond to the University of Texas lawsuit. The new filing also includes three declarations, from Nevius (who describes a whole bunch of crazy behavior on O'Neal's part) as well as Fawcett's former personal assistant Mike Pingel and her longtime friend Gregg Lott. In his declaration, Lott says O'Neal's contention that Warhol made one of the portraits for him is not true. "Farrah always had possession of both Warhol portraits from the day they were created and they were unquestionably owned by her and her alone," Lott's declaration states. We've put in a call to O'Neal attorney Marty Singer and will update with a response. UPDATE: "We don't believe this is a case that subjects itself to anti-SLAPP," Singer tells us. "We believe we will prevail." Nevius's motion was filed by Lincoln Bandlow at L.A.'s Lathrop and Gage firm. Email: Matthew.Belloni@thr.com Twitter: @THRMattBelloni Ryan O'Neal Farrah Fawcett

Relativity sets China coprod venture with Huaxia Film

KavanaughRecognizing the increasing importance of the Chinese entertainment market, Relativity Media has inked a strategic partnership with Huaxia Film Distribution Co. and SkyLand (Beijing) Film-Television Culture Development and, separately, is teaming with SAIF Partners and IDG China Media to launch the first Chinese-American distribution company, SkyLand Entertainment. Producer/distributor Huaxia is one of the two main conduits for U.S. theatrical releases in China, while SkyLand is a prominent Chinese production, financing and distribution shingle. SkyLand will distribute all of Relativity's future films in China, including "Immortals," "Haywire," "The Raven," the Navy SEAL pic "Act of Valor" and its untitled Snow White project starring Julia Roberts. Noting that China is the fastest-growing film market in the world, with more than 6,000 screens and better than $1.5 billion in box office revenue last year -- an increase of more than 60% last year alone -- Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh said, "We're excited to be entering into this booming market with such great partners in SAIF, IDG and our new strategic partnership with Huaxia. Given the substantial platform created by SAIF and IDG in SkyLand, we believe together we can grow a distribution business in China which brings global product to China, and brings Chinese product to the global market." Though co-productions are exempt from China's quotas on foreign films, they are subject to a strict censorship process, which has made the market a tough nut to crack for Hollywood. It's not clear if this new partnership will be exempt from the quota system or get around it in some way. Relativity will work with SAIF and IDG to develop, produce, distribute and acquire Chinese material that possesses worldwide appeal. SkyLand is jointly owned by Relativity Media, SAIF Partners and IDG China Media. Company is also partnered with a China-based RMB fund to co-invest in local film and TV content and production, with the deal valued at $100 million. The trio are already working on several projects that will bring Chinese folklore to theaters in the U.S. and worldwide. Formed by SAIF and IDG more than two years ago, SkyLand recently co-produced Wayne Wang's "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan." Kavanaugh attended the Beijing press conference along with Huaxia Film's exec chairman Guoqing Gu, SAIF Partners' managing partner Andy Yan and IDG China Media's founding partner Hugo Shong. Joint venture aims to accelerate the pace of co-production between the U.S. studio and its Chinese counterparts. Relativity, SAIF and IDG are working on big-budget titles based on famed events from China's past. Purpose is to create movies that will appeal to Chinese and Western auds and solidify a more fluid film partnership between the U.S. and China while creating strong returns for those investing in the new business. "This partnership will broaden the cooperation platform, introducing significant resource for the co-production of future movies and allowing us to build on valuable movie production experiences from overseas," Gu said. "Meanwhile, such a partnership will also open the channels for Chinese movies to air globally and offer international audiences a better understanding of Chinese culture." Yan, managing partner of SAIF and a large investor in SkyLand and Relativity said: "Until now, there has been a major void in bridging the two worlds of the American and Chinese film industries. After spending significant time learning about Relativity's business and how they approach the international markets, we couldn't be more pleased to have entered into what will undoubtedly be a revolutionary shift in the China film business as we know it." Shong, founding general Partner of IDG China Media and a co-financier of SkyLand, said: "We couldn't be more excited about creating this revolutionary partnership, and simultaneously entering into a strategic partnership with Huaxia." Huaxia has handled Chinese distribution of pics including "Kung Fu Panda," "Fast Five" "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," "Alice in Wonderland" and the "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" franchises. In May 2010, Relativity pacted with Fuse Capital to form Relativity Media India. (Clifford Coonan in China contributed to this report.) Contact Jeff Sneider at jeff.sneider@variety.com
