The makers of The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button movie are facing a lawsuit from an Italian office worker.

Adriana Pichini claims that film is based on a story she wrote in 1994 called Di Arthur All’innocenza (Arthur’s Return To Innocence), rather than a 1921 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A judge at the Rome Tribunal Court will decide whether the case has any merit.

“At this point it’s still a matter of principle. What happens next will depend on what the judge rules,” the woman’s lawyer Gianni Massaro said.
