and Shell, in addition to supplying some visual effects for Avatar. In 2010, the Brothers directed and produced the science fiction thriller Skyline, written by Joshua Cordes and Liam O'Donnell, starring Scottie Thompson, Eric Balfour, Donald Faison and David Zayas. The film was met with poor reviews but given its budget was US$10–$20 million, it performed well commercially, grossing a total of nearly US$79 million worldwide. Sony Pictures Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the brothers and Hydralux, who had been hired to provide visual effects for Battle: Los Angeles. Sony alleged that they had used time and resources meant for Battle: Los Angeles, and instead used them on Skyline, which was accused of being too similar by Sony. However, Sony dropped the lawsuit in 2011, shortly before Skylines home video debut, satisfied that their concerns about the competing film proved to be unfounded.
