White Chicks idea stolen, or just unoriginal?
For some reason, four people want to claim the White Chicks idea as their own.
Four Connecticut men are accusing the Wayans Brothers of stealing their idea for the movie White Chicks. Mario Pittore and brothers Jason, Jon, and James Coppola are seeking not only recognition, but $15 million because they believe the plot of White Chicks is too close to their script, Johnny Bronx. Their film concept tells the story of a black FBI agent who goes undercover as a white man. In White Chicks, two black cops go undercover as white socialite women.
Pittore has angrily stated of White Chicks, "Not only does it rip us off, but it's not even as good."
