Angelina Jolie Accused Of Copyright Infringement, Injunction Sought Against Release Of IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY
Does Angelina Jolie need to add 'plagiarist' to her resume after 'writer-director'? According to Croatian journalist James Braddock she does. Braddock has filed a lawsuit against Jolie, FilmDistrict and the producers of Jolie's upcoming directorial debut In The Land Of Blood And Honey, claiming copyright infringement on his book The Soul Shattering.
At the core of Braddock's claim are a series of meetings spanning over years between him and Jolie's producer and Croatian liaison Edin Sarkic who initially approached Braddock about his book and the possibility of a film adaptation in 2007. The official adaptation never happened but Braddock claims there are many obvious similarities between his book and Jolie's film - a film that Jolie claims sole authorship of.
Braddock is both suing for damages and requesting a court injunction against the film's release.
