County Superior Court, claiming one of the directors -- &lt;strong&gt;Ethan Maniquis&lt;/strong&gt; -- solicited her for ideas back in 2005 for a movie in which a man goes on a killing spree with a machete ... and then used them without paying her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the lawsuit, Yvonne shared her brilliant characters and storylines believing she'd be compensated -- but she never was ... and the movie was released in 2010, containing a bunch of her contributions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Yvonne is suing both Maniquis and his co-director &lt;strong&gt;Robert Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt; for breach of contract -- seeking unspecified damages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yvonne does not specify which ideas were hers. Calls to Robert and Ethan's production company have not been returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
