James Cameron Accused Of Stealing Avatar Concept
Posted on Thu May 20, 2010 09:48 AM PDT

avatar200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - James Cameron has been thrust into a legal mess by a San Diego woman who claims the director stole her idea. Kelly Van has filed a lawsuit claiming that Avatar has infringed on the copywright for her 2003 book Sheila the Warrior: The Damned.

The suit alleges that Avatar producers had access to her work and alleges that there is "substantial similarity in characters, setting, plot, visual effects, scenes, concept and feel."

Also in the suit, details stating that Van's concept includes characters with "long braided hair growing beyond the buttocks."

FOX tells The Hollywood Reporter, “This suit is absolutely baseless. Jim Cameron’s treatment for Avatar was written before Ms. Van alleges she even started to write her book.”

How is Avatar even a new concept? Think Ferngully meets Dances with Wolves.

Good one. It could also be renamed, "Pocahontas in Space".

My exact words after watching Avatar, "I liked the first version of this, the one called "Dances with Wolves".

YES! Great piece, keep up the terrific work. This is the type of information that should gain recognition for it’s craft. More writers should learn from you. This is right on the money.

Wait until he gets a load of me. I have 120 points of reference that exist in my book that are copied into Avatar. James Cameron and Fox will pony up a lot of money. I registered the first draft while James was still driving a school bus.

This was a definitely quite very good post. In theory I’d like to create like this also - getting time and actual effort to make a wonderful piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to obtain a thing done.

Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
