Quoted from Glenda
Hi,

No I sent my script to an independent agency in LA that I had worked with for years. They have proof of receipt and I have my records as well.


I would say that right there might be your biggest problem. If there is no way to connect that agency with the movie you will have a hard time proving anything.

Also it is not uncommon for similar ideas and themes to pop up in movies. That same year there were several similar revenge themed flicks. Another one was "Death Sentence", swapping genders for the lead role.

I have countless times had to dig into my story drawer and throw away stuff because I just watched it happen before my eyes on the big screen. A couple times I have even had a real, "What the F***!" moment, but sometimes it happens. If you thought of something, chances are high that someone else has too.

However, if you are seeing a page by page depiction of your script that is another story altogether. If there are just a few similarties it might just be a case of someone beating you to the celluloid.

Maybe you should post your script here for others to check out and give you some feedback on.

John
