Bernard Bronner files legal action in Atlanta: Trial date set for September 16
A decade-long legal case is finally going to trial in a high-profile courtroom showdown.
Businessman and media mogul Bernard Bronner will file legal action against Rainforest Films, Will Packer, Rob Hardy and TRF Productions, LLC on September 16 in Atlanta. The decade-long dispute is over alleged corporate mismanagement and breach of fiduciary duty.
In the lawsuit, Bronner accuses Rainforest Films and its partners of failing to discharge fiduciary duties and misappropriating assets.
The lawsuit comes after business luminary and leading philanthropist Bernard Bronner claimed that his huge financial investment in the company, co-founded by Hollywood heavyweights Parker and Hardy, was not yielding the expected returns, according to the law. A protracted legal conflict.
After numerous court appearances and legal action, the upcoming trial is a key moment in the long-running saga. Bronner, chairman of Bronner Brothers and publisher of Upscale magazine, has positioned himself as a staunch advocate for accountability that reflects his broader commitment to supporting Black entrepreneurs and creatives.
On the other hand, acclaimed producer Will Packer, whose hits include “Think Like a Man,” “Ride Along” and “Girls Trip,” remains a formidable figure in Hollywood. His latest project, “Lift,” starring Kevin Hart, will be released on Netflix on September 5, further cementing his place in the entertainment industry.
