Italian writer raises case against "Button"
ROME - "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" got a little stranger Friday after an attorney representing an Italian office worker filed legal papers alleging that the screenplay was based on a story she wrote in 1994.

Scott Fitzgerald.

Piracy, controversy mar Slumdog's India run
MUMBAI - For all the attention in Hollywood, "Slumdog Millionaire" has failed to set the box office alight in India where it is set, with piracy, anger over its portrayal of poverty and its controversial title taking a toll.
