According to a complaint filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Martin granted a film option in 2009 to Mike the Pike Productions, which later assigned it to Blackstone Manor LLC. Under the agreement, the producers had five years to commence principal photography. If no motion picture was made during this time, then Skin Trade rights would revert back to Martin.

The option was executed on Sept. 2, 2014, just in time, but Martin contends “Blackstone contrived the artifice” of production by hastily assembling a bare bones cast and crew for a handful of scenes merely to undercut Martin’s rights.
