Bollywood-Hollywood dispute Filmmakers Beware

To all the Haitian filmmakers out there I thought you would find this news interesting.

Bollywood is having a big dispute with Hollywood over intellectual property rights.

Warner Bros. has threatened to sue anybody planning to remake "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" without its permission.

Warners' threat appeared in local media advertisements Monday after reports that Bollywood producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah planned to make a Hindi-language film called "Action Replay," in which actor Akshay Kumar would go through a reverse-aging process.

"We took the step of publishing a notice regarding the possible unauthorized remake of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' as part of that rigorous defense of our rights, and to ensure that the filmgoing public in India experience our movies in the way that they were intended," Mumbai-based Warner Bros. India told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday.

Is there any Haitian hollywood remakes out there?
