Because the name Batman was sued, it made several people in the living room a little amused, but why did they only think of prosecution now? The name Batman was born as early as 1939.

No matter which country's relevant laws are, after such a long time, the objection period has passed, which sounds nonsense enough.

However, what is even more nonsense is that due to international influence, the Los Angeles International Court has taken over the lawsuit. Normally, the court will not accept such an outrageous claim. Whether Warner Bros. can receive the summons is all right.

After all, their ultimate goal is to get money. With Batman's current hot state, even one percent of the entire series of income, it can make an irrelevant person rich.

"This is not the most outrageous..."

Jimmy shrugged and continued in the eyes of several people who couldn't believe it, "There is a Los Angeles man named Stephen Terry, who said that the storyline of "Batman: The Moment of War" was created by him in 1987. He also told his friends in oral form that he told them.

Then he felt that this story was circulating, and after you heard it, it was adapted into "Batman: The War Moment". Otherwise, there would have been no story of Batman's growth in the previous comics and movies."

"What the f＊＊k?!" Wayne was originally listening to the joke, but he was still shocked by the shamelessness of these people. He knew that these things would not have to come forward by himself, and the Warner Brothers legal department would be able to handle them. Such people would not get the desired result normally.

But Wayne remembers it very clearly that he did back up the script framework in advance. He was not guarding against these messy people, but Frank Miller.

The entire film is now being screened, and it has also created a very big movie viewing trend. If Frank Miller wants to draw the Dark Knight, he has to come to Warner Bros. or DC Comics to obtain approval first.

"Nina." Wayne knocked on the coffee table, waited for the assistant lady to see it, and said, "Let me go back and help me copy the earliest proof documents and fax them to Warner Brothers. Don't let such weird people feel the chance to tear off my body."

Nina nodded. "No problem, the novels you published before, in the framework of the scripts you noted in the association, are all in the safe in the manor study. When I go back, I will copy one."

"Wait, Jimmy." Bella Grant looked at the agent with a curious look. "Mr. Stephen Terry, what is his lawsuit request? Is it to prove that Wayne used his story?"

Jimmy raised her eyebrows, picked up the coffee and took a big gulp and said, "I don't think you would believe it. He wants 3% of the box office revenue of Batman: The Moment of War" and $100 million in compensation."

"God, did he not wake up?" The beautiful editor shook his head. She felt that this person was just doing something nonsense, and she had no basic common sense at all, so she dared to blackmail the media group.

"Who knows?" Wayne and Ben didn't take each other seriously, and at most this was to bring him some fun.

After the arrival of the Internet era, he did see many such litigation cases back then, and almost every popular movie did not run away. Sadly, many people did succeed and received a lot of settlement funds.

Of course, there are many more weirder than this.

Now the two giants that James Cameron forced to change directors will be sued in 2012. The prosecutor is a woman named Samantha Kennedy.

She insisted that the film "Titanic" copied her personal biography that she had not had time to publish. In other words, the experience of the heroine Ruth in the film came from her, and she asked the distributor Paramount Pictures to destroy all copies of the film, and all box office revenue belonged to her alone...

This incident caused a lot of controversy at the time, and various gossip media kept reporting, but the court felt that this woman, who was not a princess at all, sued the movie fifteen years ago, and there was no evidence at all, so she ignored her.

Many people know that the film was set in 1912 and the prototype should be over 100 years old. This woman named Princess has no evidence except for oral narratives to the media. The lawsuit soon disappeared.

Only a bunch of tabloid media were left, and ** used this incident to hype to get the popularity of James Cameron.

In 2011, after a movie called "Driving for Desperate", a female movie fan sued the film, saying that the trailer of the movie had a serious misleading tendency because the trailer was full of exciting racing scenes. Just like the "Fast and Furious" series, the main film had nothing to do with racing and extreme sports.

The female movie fan felt that she had been deceived by the film company and asked to return the money for the movie ticket to her and made some mental compensation. She also received support from a female rights organization.

However, this kind of case of prosecution of movie trailers will not even have the opportunity to go to court. The courts and film companies will not pass the fans and rights organization.

The problem is that if the trailer is really convicted of deception, then Marvel and Disney would have to pay for nothing left, and they would have to be sentenced to life imprisonment...

So there have never been many such strange cases. Since the Hollywood film industry developed, such cases have been accompanied by film companies.

There is never one ultimate goal, that is, to ask for money.

What is the Hollywood Film Company? It is the back garden of a group of real Jewish capitalists. Even if anyone can produce evidence and get the settlement, basically no one can quietly spend the money afterwards.

Hollywood film companies, even the money of the century-old vampires on Wall Street, can’t win the Wall Street Financial Company, which is still cheating. If you have no place to make a decision, let alone ordinary people.

"Okay, let's prepare the barbecue. Just listen to these things, Jimmy, leave them all to Warner Brothers to handle." Wayne stood up and asked a few people to walk to the backyard together. It was rare that the farm was so lively, and he was in a very good mood.

When encountering such a mess, Warner Brothers' legal department is professional, but it has long maintained many lawyers and has signed special litigation contracts with the law firm.

On the open space in the backyard of the villa, there was a large iron stove for barbecue. Wayne and his friends started working together, filling the underside of the stove with carbon, then putting the prepared beef and covering it with a lid.

This method of barbecue is more common in North America. The stove uses the high pressure principle, and even the large pieces of beef can be roasted.

"beer?"

Sergei took a handful of beer and put it on the open space, giving each of them a bottle. "Would we have a small party if we want our lunch here?"

"Of course it's okay, just ask my mother to bring the food over later."

Wayne and others sat on the steps, each holding beer, Nina and Bella Grant sat together, communicating about topics in fashion magazines.

"Jimmy, I think I'll need a new assistant director soon, help me get a recruitment information."

"What's wrong with Zach?"

Jimmy raised the bottle and touched him for a while, and asked curiously.

After drinking a big sip of cold beer, Wayne almost moaned comfortably. He hadn't experienced this state of complete relaxation for a long time. "When they come back from Europe, I will arrange for Zach to shoot a video alone, and ** will also transform into a producer. My team needs fresh blood."

In his vision, Zach Schneider must lead the crew to shoot independently. This is the main factor in whether the progress of DC's universe can be accelerated. Moreover, people have their own desires, so it is impossible for Director Z to always be the assistant director.

"I will release the news when I go back. Believe me, this position will be stolen." Jimmy nodded and said.

Wayne's core team has been very stable in the past two years, otherwise many positions would be popular. Now there is a position as an assistant director. Jimmy believes that there will definitely be people who have proved themselves to compete for this job.

With such a director who has been successful continuously, and has an extremely stable and first-class professional behind-the-scenes team, it is the best learning opportunity for many young directors. Even some young directors who have made a name for themselves will be willing to join in.

Just as Wayne was hiding on the farm for vacation, the summer season battle continued. "Batman: The War Moment" dominated all schedules from June to early July, and the box office maintained a healthy decline.

Just when all media and critics thought the film would be hot until mid-July, Universal Pictures' "The Elf" snatched the weekend champion from "Batman: The Moment of War" on its first release in early July.

This unexpected work was surprisingly popular with children without large-scale promotion. Family fans became the main force of the box office, and earned $3,780 in three days of release.

Although "Batman: The Moment of War" has been popular with fans, it also earned $4.01 million, $3.72 million, $2.57 million, and $2.63 million in the first four working days, $4.57 million on Friday, $5.67 million on Saturday, and $1.0 million on Sunday.

Although the film fell to the second place on the list, it successfully received US$28.52 million again. The total box office in North America has reached US$230.51 million, and it is still a big box office player in the theater market.

This week, the theater alliance led by three major theater companies tacitly reduced the screening scale of "Batman: The Moment of War", and the number of theaters in North America dropped to 1,988.

Both Warner Bros. and Wayne knew that this was just a normal commercial adjustment. It was a miracle that this film could occupy four weeks of large-scale screening resources in the fiercely competitive summer season.

Now another box office dark horse has appeared, and it is very normal for the other party to free up theaters to show the theater.

Unlike "The Joker" who makes a vote and runs away, the screening cycle of this film will be very long, and this is not a short-term film type. The strong trend in the box office has already shown many problems.
