Legal Battle

Bill Block and Paul Hanson originally attempted to develop I, Alex Cross with Vistor Pictures. According to Block and Hanson, negotiations fell through and--with no agreement signed--the duo made a deal with QED instead (QED made the movie). Vistor Pictures claims they were very much involved in the film's creation and deserves mention in the credits as well as monetary compensation. Anticipating either legal action or a press attack (or both) from Vistor, QED sued to have Vistor take back their accusations and be barred from attempted to sue QED. The suit is ongoing.
