AMENDED OPINION: This is an action for declaratory judgment brought by Effie Film, LLC against Gregory Murphy. Effie Film is a company formed to produce a film based on a screenplay, Effie, written by Emma Thompson based on the infamous, unhappy marr iage of Effie Gray and John Ruskin, a highly influential Victorian-era art critic. Murphy is also the author of a screenplay, as well as a play for the stage, (both entitled The Countess) based upon the same historical events. Murphy has made repeate d claims, both to Effie Film and in the media, that the Effie screenplay infringes on his copyright in The Countess. Effie Film therefore has brought this action seeking a declaration that Effie does not infringe Murphys copyright in The Countess. Ef fie Film moves for judgment on the pleadings. The motion is granted. Accordingly, Effie Film's motion for judgment on the pleadings is granted. The shooting script of the film "Eflie" dated November 29, 2011 is not substantially simil ar to either the stage or screen version of "The Countess." Thus, the November 29,2011 shooting script of "Effie" does not infringe Murphy's copyright., in "The Countess," Similarly, the film based upon that screenplay also does not infringe, but only to the extent that it does not substantially deviate from the November 29, 2011 screenplay. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 3/22/2013) (ago)
