Guillermo Del Toro's Shape Of Water Lawsuit Has Been Dismissed

Guillermo Del Toro's Shape Of Water Lawsuit Has Been Dismissed

For a movie about a woman who has a romantic relationship with a fishperson, you would think that the interspecies sex would be the most controversial thing. But instead Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water has been dogged since its release with claims of plagiarism. There was even a lawsuit filed against Guillermo del Toro by the estate of playwright Paul Zindel, claiming that the film copied elements from his 1969 play Let Me Hear You Whisper. Now that cloud has finally lifted, legally speaking at least, as the lawsuit has been dismissed.

Federal Judge Percy Anderson has dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, while also saying that Guillermo del Toro and Fox Searchlight are entitled to recover the defense costs incurred according to Deadline. That would seemingly put an end to the matter that began earlier this year. After an ask for a settlement was rejected by Fox Searchlight, the estate of the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author, in a move clearly aimed at getting maximum publicity, filed a lawsuit on the day that Academy voters began filling out their final ballots for the major categories. The Shape of Water was up for nominations in 13 categories, ultimately emerging the victor in four of them, including Best Picture and Best Director for Guillermo del Toro.

The copyright infringement claim argued that Guillermo del Toro brazenly copied elements from Let Me Hear You Whisper, a play that tells the story of a cleaning woman at a laboratory who tries to rescue an intelligent talking dolphin from cruel experiments. Despite those surface similarities, the Fox lawyers argued that these works are entirely different because while the play is about the horrors of animal experimentation, it does not contain the love story or a mute protagonist or the god-like powers of the amphibian man. Fox's lawyers also argued the universality of these kinds of stories, citing movies like Free Willy and E.T. where scientists want to do inhumane experiments on lovable creatures. Obviously the judge agreed with these arguments, unburdening The Shape of Water from this legal cloud.

Guillermo del Toro always denied the allegations in the strongest possible terms, defending his reputation and The Shape of Water throughout the process, citing how he has historically been very open about the things that inspired his work. There was also concern earlier this year that The Shape of Water was awfully similar to a Dutch short film, but in that instance too, the works were determined to be different enough to allay concerns. I suppose that anxieties about how we treat animals are just universally rich storytelling avenues.

Perhaps now Guillermo del Toro can enjoy the rest of his year off and will hopefully be rewarded for the success of The Shape of Water by finally being able to tackle his dream project.

Whats Happening With Potfest, According To Broken Lizard

Whats Happening With Potfest, According To Broken Lizard

Broken Lizard is about to get into the sequel game with Super Troopers 2 when the film debuts on April 20, but there's another sequel that their fans have waited to see as well: Potfest. The comedy troupe recently teased fans with the promise that they do have a Beerfest 2 idea ready to go, and CinemaBlend had a chance to ask for some more updates on that front during the recent Super Troopers 2 press day in Los Angeles. Addressing the possibility of a Beerfest sequel, Broken Lizard confirmed that they want to proceed with the marijuana theme teased at the end of Beerfest and make it a star-studded affair. They said:

Steve Lemme: It's like Rambo: First Blood Part 2. Potfest: Beerfest Part 2. I mean at the end of Beerfest we had Willie show up and as a joke he said, 'Super-secret pot smoking competition,' and you know, 'Coming soon, Potfest.' But then Willie called up. He was like, 'We are gonna do that one, aren't we?' And Snoop Dogg, he was like, 'We gonna do that piece, no?'Jay Chandrasekhar: Michael Phelps.Steve Lemme: Bill Clinton.

As fans of the original Beerfest will likely recall, the first film ends with our heroes winning the titular competition and journeying off to Amsterdam. While there, they run into Willie Nelson, who subsequently invites them to join him in a brand-new competition called Potfest. Though nothing ever actually came of it, Steve Lemme and Jay Chandrasekhar's comments during our interview not only suggest that this is where a Beerfest follow-up would go, but big names like Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg want in on the action.

That raises questions about what it will actually take to get Potfest made. Continuing in our conversation, the Broken Lizard guys remarked that the success of Super Troopers 2 will play a substantial role in getting the wheels turning on their next sequel. Kevin Heffernan and Jay Chandrasekhar explained:

Kevin Heffernan: It depends. If people get out there on 4/20 to support this one, then we'll be able to make the next one.Jay Chandrasekhar: In order to see that movie, you have to go to this movie.Kevin Heffernan: It unlocks it.

This explanation makes quite a bit of sense. After all, Super Troopers 2 was never a guarantee, and Broken Lizard had to resort to a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund a substantial portion of the budget. If that sequel can make a strong impression on audiences, then they might gain the necessary traction to convince a studio to make Potfest.

With all of that said, we will see what happens when Super Troopers 2 opens this weekend on April 20. Check out the long-awaited sequel when it finally debuts, and make sure to keep an eye on our 2018 movie premiere guide to see what else is coming to the big screen this year!
