The movie's U.S. distributor, Summit Entertainment, issued a statement saying it hopes "for a quick resolution to the claims made by Master Sgt. Sarver."

The lawsuit is the second trouble for the Oscar-nominateed film. A producer of the film is banned to attend the Oscar ceremony for sending emails of urging the Academy members to vote for his film.
