A student is sueing the film
makers of “Men In Black 3” for two Billion Dollars, he claims that the writers
of the firm used his homework assignment stolen from a film school.
Constantino Basile says his
script ideas were so good …they were used in Three big Hollywood movies and
spoofed by Steven Spielberg for the Classic SNL short “Laser Cats 7” …according
to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Basile
claims he submitted his stories "The World of Jupiter" and
"Crisis on Jupiter" as assignments for a class at Los Angeles Film
School back in 2011.
In the docs, Basile
says a teacher at the school sold his work to Hollywood film writers ... who
incorporated various elements of the stories into their movies, including
"MIB 3," "Prometheus," and "Elysium."The bad news for Basile -- those films weren't exactly hailed by critics ... but "Laser Cats 7" was pretty damn funny.
I hope the teacher he
claimed to have submitted the script to can confirm his story or he would have
only succeeded in having his 15 mins of fame. Whichever way, I wish him well
fighting against Hollywood big guns.
