The new Wayans Brothers race comedy White Chicks is at the center of a legal dispute after a production company in Connecticut claimed they had the initial idea for the film. Bosses at A Slice Of Pie Productions claim the film, which has become a surprise summer hit in America, is a rip off of their movie Johnny Bronx. In new court documents, the production company alleges Johnny Bronx was offered to the Wayans as a treatment in 1997. The premise of the film was a fumbling African American FBI agent who "is converted to a white, Italian- American mobster to infiltrate the mafia". In Keenen Ivory Wayans' new film, which stars his brothers Marlon and Shawn, two tough detectives transform themselves into white socialites to solve a crime. The Wayans insist the idea was brother Shawn's, but A Slice Of Pie chiefs claim some scenes in the film were "almost identical" to those in their treatment and they're suing for damages.

Does the FBI have no white or female agents? What a couple of fucking stupid movie ideas.

But the idea of a black woman in a white man suit has been done already. So Whoopi can sue both their asses.
