Audiophilander,I'm glad to see someone pursuing their rights when a movie becomes successful!
Not only was Harry Potter obviously based exactly on my Osteopath's daughter, Diedre- who has a scar and I manage for 10%- Matt Damon's character in "Good Will Hunting" was based on my niece's boyfriend "Spud", and Thorton's character in "Sling Blade" was lifted intact from the hilarious "Henry Kissinger recites Shakepseare"- which was entirely my idea. Also, I had the concept of the "The Matrix" the moment I heard Ronald Reagan was re-elected- and think I may deserve some compensation for that. Further, the story of "Dances with Wolves"- that exact sequence of events happened to my older brother, who is an exotic dancer in Amsterdam- exact story- and this was published in "Het voorenggegoen Dijk Bluasch-SEXY/BOOM" of October, 1989- giving plenty of time to be stolen for the movie.
And- Nostradamus predicted a film producer will owe me substantial money for the idea for a movie involving Japanese bears that change into superheroes with all the powers of a human. I'm confident this prediction will come true.
-There's just no respect for intellectual properties without occassional dramatic lawsuits from the loonies. Good publicity too,..
Cheers,
