The Duffer Bros. Can Prove That They Didn’t Steal The Idea For STRANGER THINGS
Earlier this week the Duffer Bros. were slapped with a lawsuit claiming that they stole the idea of Stranger Things from a man named Charlie Kessler. Kessler, who made a short film called Montauk and wrote a script called The Montauk Project, says he pitched the idea to Ross and Matt Duffer at a party at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. The Duffer's lawyer then released a statement calling the accusations "completely meritless" and "just an attempt to profit" from the success of Stranger Things. Now, it looks like the Duffer Bros. can prove that they didn't steal the idea thanks to emails that have been uncovered showing that they were developing a Montauk story 3 1/2 years before Kessler claims he even pitched the show to them. According to TMZ, there were to emails in November, 2010, in which the brothers start to lay out their vision for the story describing it as a "real," "paranormal" "gritty eighties" show. One of the emails even specifically says the show is set … [Read more...] about The Duffer Bros. Can Prove That They Didn’t Steal The Idea For STRANGER THINGS
That Stranger Things Lawsuit Can Apparently Be Disproven By The Duffer Brothers Already
7 minutes ago This has been an interesting week for Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Netflix's hit horror drama Stranger Things. The brothers were hit with a lawsuit from a man claiming they'd stolen the show's central ideas from a pitch he'd presented them back in 2014. The similarities between the projects exist, but it seems the Duffers can now prove their innocence thanks to a series of email discussions focusing on developing the ideas that would later become Stranger Things proper. Plaintiff Charlie Kessler claims that he had a meeting with Matt and Ross Duffer back in 2014, where he pitched a TV series based on his 2012 short film Montauk, which was about mysterious experiments, a missing child, and a small town cop trying to put it all together. One hiccup in Kessler's plan is that there are plenty of real-world conspiracy theories about alleged goings-on in Montauk, New York in the 1970s. And another big hiccup is that the Duffer brothers have email correspondence … [Read more...] about That Stranger Things Lawsuit Can Apparently Be Disproven By The Duffer Brothers Already
The Duffer Bros. Respond To The STRANGER THINGS Lawsuit and Call The Accusations “Completely Meritless”
As you may have heard, a lawsuit was filed against Matt and Ross Duffer claiming that stole the idea for Stranger Things from Charlie Kessler. They are being sued for "breach of implied contract". He claims that he pitched them his idea for a sci-fi story that is set near an abandoned military base during a party at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival and that they took his idea and turned it into Stranger Things. An attorney for the Duffer Bros. made a statement today calling the accusations "completely meritless" and "just an attempt to profit" from the success of Stranger Things. I pretty much assumed this was the case, but who knows what will come out if Kessler decides to press forward with the lawsuit. Here's the statement from the attorney: "Mr. Kessler’s claim is completely meritless. He had no connection to the creation or development of ‘Stranger Things.’ The Duffer Brothers have neither seen Mr. Kessler’s short film nor discussed any project with … [Read more...] about The Duffer Bros.
