(2013)
Francesca Gregorini v. Apple Inc.
Plaintiff alleges that the Apple TV+ and M. Night Shyamalan series Servant is a wholesale copy of Plaintiff Francesca Gregorini’s 2013 feature film The Truth About Emanuel. As demonstrated by the long list of key parallels catalogued in this Complaint, the misappropriation is not a mere borrowed premise, idea or story. Mr. Shyamalan has gone so far as to appropriate not just the plot of Emanuel—but also its use of cinematic language, creating a substantially similar feeling, mood, and theme.
