'Avatar' Sued by Vancouver Restaurant Owner
It was only a matter of time before someone went after Avatar’s $2 billion pie. Vancouver restaurant owner Emil Malak has filed a suit against James Cameron, Lightstorm and Twentieth Century Fox in British Columbia Supreme Court, claiming Avatar bears an uncanny resemblance to his own 1998 screenplay “Terra Incognita.”
THR, Esq. has the story:
In Malak’s story, a tree is a focal point of a community of indigenous people and contains their collective memories. His characters are odd-looking creatures, some with braided hair and others with tails.
