RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that screenwriter Timothy Patrick McLanahan is suing Cruise for $1 billion, because he claims he came up with the idea for the movie way back in 1998.

Sadly.. I suspect the case will be dismissed as having no merit. The plaintiff sounds like a loony toon. He filed 18 lawsuits against police & a mental healthy agency in Washington state & was later barred by the court from filing further lawsuits. He also has no attorney representing him (the lawsuit was filed by mail).
Unless he can find a seasoned attorney to represent him against a major movie studio, given the guy's past record for filing lawsuits, he's outta luck.

He's sued President Obama, at least, twice. http://dockets.justia.com/search?query=Tim++McLanahan&noscat=4
