Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor’s extremely delayed film, I Love You Phillip Morris, is at last set to hit U.S. cinemas as a result of an extended legal battle over the movie.

It is a comedy about a married man (Carrey) who discovers he is gay and embarks on a crime spree which sends him in jail. It is where he falls in love with a convict (McGregor).

The movie was delayed several times as movie bosses became involved in legal wrangling over the finances of the film. Nevertheless, the lawsuit between French film studio EuropaCorp executives – the producers of the movie – and bosses at distribution firm Consolidate has now been resolved.

The release rights in the States have been sold to a distribution company and now the movie is set to be released on December 3, 2010.

Howard Cohen, co-president of Roadside Attractions, the company which now owns the rights, said Deadline.com, “This is a film that everyone has been talking about and we’re thrilled it became available again.”

Bosses at J 2 filed suit in Manhattan federal court in New York on July 29, 2010 seeking compensation at least $200,000, according to the New York Post.
