Quentin Tarantino was sued for plagiarism
Quentin Tarantino, The Weinstein Company and Columbia Pictures have been accused of copyright infringement. According to Variety, they are named as defendants in the lawsuit concerning the movie Django Unchained. Plaintiffs, Oscar Colvin Jr. and his son, Torrance J. Colvin, found the script similar to their own work, Liberty, which was registered with the Writers Guild of America in 2004. "The similarities between" Svoboda "and" Django Unchained "are very strong. The Defendants may call this a coincidence, but the deliberate use of our work is not accidental," - said in a statement, which was filed with a federal court in Washington. The plaintiffs, in particular, point to the fact that the protagonist of "Liberty" is the fugitive slave Jackson Freeman, who seeks to free his family from the rule of a cruel planter. Recall that the movie "Django Unchained", which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, Jamie Foxx, Don Johnson, Franco Nero and other actors, was released in 2012. It earned more than $ 400 million worldwide and secured Quentin Tarantino himself an Oscar in the Best Screenplay category. The Topic of Article: Quentin Tarantino was sued for plagiarism. |
