Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone, to the great presentation of today’s movie demand! Can it be an extravagance if there are only two demands? Let’s not worry about the details! Netflix’s Enola Holmes, a movie about the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes and Warner Bros. King richard, a biographical film of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams’ father, have both filed lawsuits against them. But Enola Holmes The lawsuit is actually a bit funny, and you can find out why below.
Enola Holmes lawsuit
Some quick background: Enola Holmes is a film based on a series of books by author Nancy Springer that focus on the main character, the much younger sister of famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Naturally, Enola follows in her brother’s footsteps and becomes a young detective. Millie Bobby Brown Enola plays, Henry Cavill plays Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter plays Enola’s mother. Harry bradbeer (Flea bag) is directing from a script by Jack thorne (Its dark materials)
Variety reports that the inheritance from the original Holmes author, Arthur Conan Doyle, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the film violates the stories that remain under copyright. While Holmes’s character and most of his stories are in the public domain, there are still a few years of stories that are protected by copyright. The lawsuit claims that Enola Holmes describes Sherlock as a warm and friendly character, aspects of the character that they say were not present until those later-era stories that are still protected. Essentially, the state says Sherlock’s version of this movie should be more of a dick, which I find incredibly funny.
It’s probably worth noting that Doyle’s state argued the same about the 2015 movie. Mr holmes, who saw Ian McKellen play an older Sherlock who is decidedly more empathetic than the cold, calculating, and purely logical man in Doyle’s early stories. That lawsuit was settled out of court, and I imagine the same will happen here.
King Richard Lawsuit
Will Smith is set to play Richard Williams, the father of tennis superstars Venus and Serena, in King richard, which is written by Zach Baylin and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. The lawsuit against this movie is not as funny as the Enola Holmes lawsuit, this one seems to be much more complicated.
The deadline has the details, but it seems to shake up like this: Two companies, TW3 Entertainment and Power Move Multi Media, say they bought the screen rights to Richard Williams’ memoirs three years ago for $ 10,000, arguing that Warner Bros. knew that they had the rights when the studio bought the script for King richard for $ 1 million a couple of years ago. Now these smaller companies are suggesting that WB and the other companies involved in making this movie owe them compensation because King richard uses “ideas or materials” found in memories.
King richard It’s supposed to hit theaters in 2021, so we’ll see if this lawsuit becomes a major issue or if this is carried with bags of cash and becomes a strange footnote on the eventual Wikipedia page of the movie.
