X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer’s name has been all over the news of late in connection with a scandalous sex abuse lawsuit. Now Oscar-nominated director Amy Berg has confirmed she’s been working on a documentary about Hollywood sexual abuse that contains allegations regarding Singer and others.

The Daily Mail claims that Michael Egan, the 31-year-old man who filed the civil suit against Singer in Hawaii, has been cooperating with Berg on the documentary. Berg has been working on the doc for the past two years, though it’s unclear how long Egan has been involved or if he was interviewed for the movie. Variety was able to confirm that the documentary includes allegations about Singer, though Berg expressed surprise that Egan had come forward with his lawsuit.

Berg’s previous documentary credits include 2012’s West of Memphis and Deliver Us From Evil, which focused on sex abuse allegations in the Catholic Church and earned her an Oscar nomination in 2006. Berg’s narrative feature Every Secret Thing opens at the Tribeca Film Festival this Sunday.

Egan’s lawsuit, which seeks unspecified money damages, alleges that Singer, now 48, forcibly raped him in the late 1990s when Egan was a teenager. Singer would have been in his early 30s. The civil complaint goes on to allege Singer flew Egan to Hawaii multiple times, provided him with drugs and alcohol, and promised him movie roles. The claims made in the complaint include battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.

Singer’s attorney has responded that the claims are “absurd and defamatory.†Singer has cancelled upcoming appearances at WonderCon and the Creativity Conference in Washington intended to promote X-Men: Days of Future Past, which premieres on May 22 in the U.K. and May 23 in the U.S.

The Daily Mail piece goes on to describe the alleged abuses in detail, including allegations that Singer was involved in a ring of pedophilia orchestrated by convicted sex offender Marc Collins-Rector, a former digital media entrepreneur. In the Variety piece, Egan says the FBI was informed but did nothing, a statement an FBI spokeswoman vehemently denied.

Re: Documentarian Amy Berg Working on Hollywood Sex Abuse Expose Involving Bryan Singe

If you read a little further into this story, you'll see this Egan dude is a little bit "off", for lack of a better word. In his most recent statements to the press, he said he blocked the incident out of his mind for years, yet tried to file a similar suit in the early 2000's. So basically he remembered then he forgot then he remembered again? Yeah right. I'm not saying Singer is clean because he's probably guilty of something, but perhaps not of this particular thing.
