It’s a tale as old as Hollywood: A writer drafts a screenplay and submits it to various competitions. They get some buzz, maybe even placing in a few, though their script ultimately doesn’t land anywhere. Then, they see a movie that feels similar to what they wrote. And after looking at the film’s IMDB page, they realize that they’re a couple levels removed from one of the title’s producers or writers, who they suspect may have read their screenplay once upon a time and ripped it off. They file a lawsuit.
