Actress Sues 'Terrifier' Producers Over Underpayment and Unauthorized Nude Image Use
Catherine Corcoran, who played Dawn in the first 'Terrifier' movie, has filed a lawsuit against the film's producers Phil Falcone and Damien Leone. The actress alleges underpayment and unauthorized use of her nude images. The case is represented by an undisclosed lawyer.
Corcoran was promised 1% of profits from the film and its merchandise, but received only $8,341. This is a fraction of what she believes she is owed. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and an injunction against further use of her nude images.
The dispute centers around a scene where Corcoran was required to be topless without the required written consent. The lawsuit accuses the filmmakers of distributing sexually explicit material without consent, violating Screen Actors Guild rules.
The 'Terrifier' franchise has become a major success, with 'Terrifier 3' alone earning nearly $89 million globally. It played in 2,762 U.S. theaters, becoming the highest grossing unrated film of all time. The franchise has earned over $100 million at the box office.
Catherine Corcoran's lawsuit against 'Terrifier' producers Phil Falcone and Damien Leone seeks fair compensation and an end to the unauthorized use of her nude images. The case highlights the ongoing issue of fair pay and consent in the film industry.
