NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Sorkin is a huge fan of courtroom dramas, both as a reader and as a watcher. His first Broadway play was the swashbuckling military justice story, "A Few Good Men," and he's returned with another legal thriller this winter. But this time he had to shake off a real courtroom drama.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — A lawyer for the estate of Harper Lee is trying to halt a lawsuit filed by a producer who plans to stage a Broadway production of the writer's classic "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Court records show Lee attorney Tonja Carter on Tuesday asked a federal court in Alabama to block a federal lawsuit filed last week in New York by producer Scott Rudin's company, Rudinplay.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A Broadway production of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" is still set to open this year despite a lawsuit filed by the estate of the author, an attorney for the producer said.
Jonathan Zavin, who represents Paul Rudin's Rudinplay Inc., said Thursday the adaption is scheduled to go on stage in December in New York "to the best of my knowledge."

Aaron Sorkin has a knack for timing, and not just in the obvious way.
The Oscar-winning writer of "The Social Network," ''Moneyball" and other fast-talking, crackling scripts has been celebrated for his mile-a-minute wordplay. But he's also been criticized for not exactly featuring complex, strong female characters in the male-centric worlds of his stories.

TORONTO (AP) — Aaron Sorkin was sitting in a restaurant with producers Amy Pascal and Mark Gordon, ticking off the names of top Hollywood directors who might be a good fit for the script Sorkin had just finished: "Molly's Game," a drama about the so-called "poker princess" Molly Bloom.
"When we got to the end, Mark and Amy said, 'But we think you should direct it,'" Sorkin recalled in an interview. "And I grabbed at the chance."
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Those looking to spend quality time with Chris O'Dowd, who made a splash as the endearingly patient cop in "Bridesmaids," have plenty of chances now and later.
There's his role as hit man and aspiring movie producer Miles Daly in Epix's critically acclaimed "Get Shorty," (10 p.m. EDT Sunday), which gives O'Dowd the chance to be trademark funny as well as tough. It's already renewed for season two.
NEW YORK (AP) — Louis C.K. has quietly shot a black-and-white 35mm film that he will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Festival organizers on Tuesday announced additions to Toronto's lineup.
C.K.'s film is called "I Love You, Daddy" and will be unveiled at the early September festival. It stars C.K. as a TV producer and writer whose daughter is played by Chloe Grace Moretz.
There's never a hair out of place in "Miss Sloane ," a painstakingly slick political thriller from director John Madden about a brilliant lone wolf lobbyist consumed with the win. It's a wannabe Aaron Sorkin-meets-Shonda Rhimes glimpse into the hollow and cynical world of inside the beltway dealings from first-time screenwriter Jonathan Perera that's never quite snappy, insightful or salacious enough to be as fun or damning as it should be.
