Weintraub clients John and Drew Dowdle will co-write the upcoming microbudget thriller: “As Above, So Below” for Legendary Pictures.
According to Variety, the film will be set in the catacombs beneath Paris where two archeologists look for hidden treasure. Sources say the film would be set in the $5-$10 million range, which stretches the boundaries of what constitute a micro-budget picture, a team popularized for films in the under-$1 million budget range.
The Dowdle brothers have also teamed on the following films: Full Moon Rising, The Dry Spell, The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Quarantine and Devil.

The San Francisco office of Weintraub Tobin has joined forces with other Bay Area law firms to raise money and collect food donations during the month of May to benefit the San Francisco and Marin Food Banks.
Food from the Bar is the legal community’s largest food and fund raising drive. In its 22nd year, this drive raises critical funds to fight hunger in San Francisco and Marin.
The San Francisco and Marin Food Banks provide vital support to more than 225,000 people in the community who are struggling to make ends meet. This year, they’ll distribute 45 million pounds of food, and more than half of it will be fresh fruit and vegetables direct from the farm.
For every $1 donated, the Food Banks can distribute $6 worth of food thanks to volunteers, farming partners and food donors, and the ability to source quality food for pennies on the dollar.
The San Francisco office will be collecting food donations in their office through the end of May. To donate or learn more learn more about Food from the Bar, visit www.sfmfoodbank.org

Labor and Employment attorney Chuck Post will speak on: “Whose Book (of Business) Is It, Anyhow? What to do Before a Competitor Hires Your Employees – or You Hire Theirs” at the California Banker’s Association’s 122nd Annual Convention and 46th Annual Bank Counsel Seminar at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach on May 4.
Protecting the willingness of a network to refer business (and growing that willingness to refer) can be essential to a successful banking career or the very survival of a financial institution. But who owns those referral sources? What can banks lawfully do to protect this essential intangible asset? What can departing employees lawfully utilize?
A panel of two attorneys, including Chuck, and a banker, deeply experienced in trade secret protection, offer a review of the most recent court decisions and cutting edge strategies to protect trade secrets and maintain the right to compete lawfully. The presentation will include a brief power point presentation (California emphasis), a panel discussion of recent cases, and questions and answers.
