http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/2005-08-11/#2 The producers of the 1976 independent movie The Clonus Horror have filed suit against DreamWorks and Warner Bros., claiming that the plot of their film, about a colony of clones kept on an island as spare parts for ailing rich people was cloned for the recent flop The Island. The Clonus producers claim that there are 90 instances in which the two films are identical. Indeed Premiere magazine recently wrote, "The first hour of The Island plays like a much more expensive albeit scene-for-scene remake." The Clonus team, producer Myrl A. Schreibman, director Robert S. Fiveson, and screenwriters Bob Sullivan and Ron Smith, are asking for unspecified damages. DreamWorks issued a statement saying, "The Island was independently created and does not infringe anyone's copyrights."
