Kevin Costner is suing his former business partner Jim Wilson for conversion, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment

The dispute centers on a company called Good One Productions that Costner formed back in 1992. TIG had a first look deal with Warner Bros. and Costner's lawyers helped him form another entity that would act as a holding company for projects outside of the Warners deal and be a Writers Guild signatory. TIG funded all of Good Ones' operations through loans.

"[G]iven that Costner and Wilson had not done business together for more than 12 years, and Wilson was no longer an officer of TIG, it made no sense for Wilson to hold bare legal title GOP stock," writes attorney Howard Kaplan in the complaint. "[Wilson] indicated he was not interested in producing any of the projects, not interested in any contingent compensation for any of the projects and did not want anything to do with Costner with respect to these projects.

Costner is also suing attorney Zeke Lopez, who worked on a team handing Costner's legal matters for several years before becoming Wilson's personal attorney, for allegedly taking Good Ones-related documents with him without Costner's consent when he exited his firm.
