Coppola's suit alleged that the filmmaker came up with the idea for a TV show called "First Contact," about mankind's initial contact with extraterrestrials, in 1975 and had a contract with Sagan to develop a script, but the series never materialized. In 1985, Sagan published the highly acclaimed book "Contact," and in 1995 Warner Bros. struck a deal with the author to produce a motion picture based on his book.
Co-producer and "Contact" author Carl Sagan died on December 20, 1996. In April, 2000 the California Court of Appeal dismissed Francis Ford Coppola's 1996 lawsuit against author Carl Sagan and Warner Bros. for a share of the profits from the book and motion picture, ruling that his claims were brought too late.
George Miller was previously attached to direct.
Jodie Foster reportedly received $7,000,000 for this film.
