Zhou Shaomou had demanded a whopping eight percent of the total worldwide revenue earned by "Avatar" - the top-grossing movie of all time, raking in more than two billion dollars since its release - over the alleged plagiarism. But the court dismissed the case, citing insufficient evidence, the state-run Global Times reported Monday. Court officials declined immediate comment on the case when contacted by AFP about the report. Zhou said the plot of "Avatar" - the story of a paraplegic former US Marine who is sent to live with a race of blue aliens on the Earth-like moon Pandora - closely resembled that of a novel he wrote in 1997. |
