Yeah. This happened to me. I just saw a preview for a rip-off of a short I co-wrote in high school that's been online for three years.

not all that surprising, but disgusting none the less.

Just because some jerk wrote a poker screenplay doesn't mean that Rounders ripped him off.
There are only so many ideas floating around.

Thankyou. You know I had a story idea that was very simular to the Night Watch movie/book and I knew nothing of them! I'm not saying that hollywood doesn't ever steal ideas but it is ridiculous to believe that every simular idea was stolen.

I actually came up with the idea of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

Too bad those films suck...

LOL, dude, I've just read your last 5 posts and they all are about how everyone and everything sucks and you want to kill people 'cause you're so full of loathing.

I don't hate everything, I like porn, zombie movies and beer.

Hollywood stole my idea for drunken zombie porn.

If I do end it all I'm waiting until the 07 Day of the Dead.

I'm pretty sure that Marvel, the House of Ideas , ripped off a character idea from our very own Cyclops. I think it was in NYX.

Yeah, some of these cases have merit, others are just ****ing dumb. So really, nobody else could come up with the idea of going to prison to help out a wrongly convicted family member? Or a movie about two poker hustlers? Please...

If that did happen, I don't think it would be all of Marvel to blame, rather the writer or artist who pitched the character.

"Let's go to prison" looks good.

Mel Gibson tried to kill me in a drunken rage.

He thought I was a Jew.

That's because Night watch is a Russian movie...nothing to do with Hollywood.

As for the topic...I hope this doesn't happen to me.
