That's pretty fucked up what they did. It wasn't Cameron himself but Lightstorm Entertainment as a whole. This is something you really have to look out for in Hollywood but this guy didn't even make any rookie mistakes, he tried to market the script professionally and they still had the balls to rip him off. They deserve to be sued for every last penny. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Really depends on the details of the script he wrote. The idea of an environmental parable in space isn't in itself novel enough to be a subject of copyright infringement. |

I guess this will delay the next Avatar....mother fuckers! |

Honestly, they'll probably just buy the rights off the guy and settle. A second Avatar movie would make so much money, it's best to just pay this guy off and move on with life. Win-win, really. |
