elysium 2013 film
Upon viewing the film, plaintiff concluded that the “Elysium” film and screenplay infringed his copyright in “Butterfly Driver,” as a whole and with regard to features such as plot, characters, settings, and themes. He speculates that defendant Neill Blomkamp accessed the “Butterfly Driver” screenplay on triggerstreet.com, and used it as the basis for his own screenplay for “Elysium.”

Judgment: Defendants’ motion for summary judgment is GRANTED, and plaintiff’s motion is DENIED.
