Icelandic film producers Ingvar Thórdarson and Júlíus Kemp have filed an injunction against the NBC television series Heroes, claiming a plot line from the show is practically a copy-and-paste job of their 2007 movie, Astrópía.
Here is a clip from the Heroes plot in question, and the trailer from Astrópía that shows why the Icelanders are suing:
Thórdarson and Kemp seek to have the broadcast stopped and then get compensated for their work.
Astrópía was the highest-grossing film in Iceland in 2007, and became a cult hit when released internationally.
“Hot dumb blond goes to work at geeky store” isn’t a new idea? Blasphemy. Frivolous lawsuits apparently result in frivolous blogging.
This movie is so nice and different from others
