‘Servant’ Trial: M. Night Shyamalan Denies Copying, Says Dispute Is a ‘Misunderstanding’
M. Night Shyamalan testified Wednesday that 'Servant' was an original work, and was not derived from 'The Truth About Emanuel'
M. Night Shyamalan testified Wednesday that he and his collaborators on the Apple TV+ show “ Servant ” did not steal from a 2013 independent film about a delusional mother and her baby doll.
