James Cameron is sick and tired of people claiming he
stole the concept behind "Avatar" -- and has now filed legal docs,
asking a judge to dismiss a $2 billion lawsuit that says the movie wasn't his
idea.
Science fiction
writer and professional nerd Bryant
Moore sued Cameron for $2.5 billion back in December claiming Moore came up
with the basic premise behind "Avatar” and Cameron jacked it.
In his lawsuit,
Moore says Cameron pilfered several ideas from Moore's screenplays ncluding
bioluminescent flora/plant life, unbreathable atmospheres, matriarch support of
hero vs. heroine, and spiritual connections to environment and reincarnation among
others.
Now, Cameron's
fighting nerd fire with nerd fire insisting the Na'vi (the alien race in
'Avatar') are NOTHING like the Gavadeen Alliance or the Pollinators (the alien
races in Moore's movies).
In fact, Cameron
says NOTHING about Moore's scripts has anything to do with "Avatar" they're
different from beginning to end.
Cameron wants a
judge to dismiss Moore's case ASAP so he can focus on making more ridiculously
profitable flicks.
