美国上诉法院周四维持了苹果公司和导演M·奈特·沙马兰在与电影制作人弗朗西斯卡·格雷戈里尼的纠纷中获得的陪审团胜诉判决,格雷戈里尼指控他们的Apple TV+剧集《仆人》抄袭了她的电影《伊曼纽尔的真相》。
第九美国巡回上诉法院驳回了格雷戈里尼对加利福尼亚州陪审团裁决的挑战,该裁决认定苹果公司和沙马兰的《仆人》不可能抄袭她的电影。格雷戈里尼的律师以及苹果公司的发言人均未立即回应置评请求。
A US appeals court on Thursday upheld Apple and director M. Night Shyamalan's jury win in a dispute with filmmaker Francesca Gregorini over allegations that their Apple TV+ show "Servant" ripped off her movie "The Truth About Emanuel."
格雷戈里尼于2020年起诉苹果公司和沙马兰侵犯版权,辩称《仆人》(2018年至2023年播出)是《伊曼纽尔的真相》的“赤裸裸的抄袭”。《仆人》和《伊曼纽尔的真相》都是关于一位因婴儿夭折而悲痛的母亲,她对一个逼真的娃娃产生了依恋。
陪审团去年认定,《仆人》的制作方在制作该剧之前无法接触到格雷戈里尼的电影。第九巡回法院曾于2022年恢复该案件,认定一名联邦法官过早驳回了该案。
By Blake Brittain The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Gregorini's challenges to a California jury's verdict that had said Apple and Shyamalan's "Servant" could not have copied from her film Gregorini's attorney and spokespeople for Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the decision Gregorini sued Apple and Shyamalan for copyright infringement in 2020, arguing that "Servant," which ran from 2018 to 2023, was a "brazen copy" of "The Truth About Emanuel" "Servant" and "The Truth About Emanuel" are both about a mother grieving the death of her baby who forms an attachment to a realistic doll A jury determined last year that the makers of "Servant" lacked access to Gregorini's film before making their show The 9th Circuit had revived the case in 2022 after finding that a federal judge dismissed it prematurely The case is Gregorini v. Apple Inc, 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 25-3225.
