Actor George Clooney, his production company, and Warner Studios are being sued by a French author for plagiarism. According to Stephanie Vergniault, Clooney and his partners copied her idea for their film Syriana. The author's complaint was heard in a Paris court on April 10, when Vergniault claimed that her script from 2002, entitled Oversight, which was registered with the French Society of Drama Authors and Composers, was used for Clooney's film. Syriana has earned nearly $85 million at box-offices world wide since its release last November. |
