Taryn Manning has filed a lawsuit against a filmmaker over claims she was dropped from her role in an upcoming movie.

The Orange is the New Black star was reportedly set to star in Droppers, but alleges she was axed from the cast earlier this year (15) prompting her to launch legal action against director Cline Mayo.

Manning has filed a lawsuit against Mayo in which she claims to have worked hard on the project creating the "look, feel, and scenario" before she was dropped, according to TMZ.com.

The film has reportedly been in production since 2007.
