Netflix Sued by Another Self-Published Author Who Claims ‘Don’t Look Up’ Stole His Idea
A second self-published author has sued Netflix for copyright infringement, alleging that the Adam McKay film 'Don't Look Up' stole his idea.
The complaint runs through a litany of alleged similarities between “Million Day Forecast” and “Don’t Look Up,” including that both feature young, determined female protagonists who must warn the world of a looming catastrophe. “The themes of apocalyptic political satire, dark comedy, and the challenges of mobilizing collective action in the face of imminent danger are central to both works,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit alleges 34 causes of action, including copyright infringement, false advertising and violations of the Florida unfair trade practices law.
