[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9222545, member: 7023840"] To the extent anyone is still curious about this case, Netflix filed its answer and affirmative defenses. Netflix also filed counterclaims, available here- [URL unfurl="true"]https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.900222/gov.uscourts.cacd.900222.15.0.pdf[/URL] As should be obvious, Netflix's story is very different than the one Evil Genius states in its complaint. Basiscally, Netflix is saying that they had a contract, and EG breached the contract, ignored Netflix, and ginned up a PR campaign. Moreover, they go into detail about how (in their opinion) EG is deliberately underplaying the contributions of Snyder and overstating their own (by alleging, inter alia, that EG is claiming that the script hadn't been finished when, in fact, two full movies had already finished production). Specifically, Netflix alleges that the two Rebel Moon movies had finished production on December 2, 2022, while EG didn't enter into the agreement until February 1, 2023. The major breaking point appeared to have occurred at the GAMA Expo, where Netflix authorized a very limited discussion, but EG's CEO ("Scott") released additional unauthorized information for purposes of pre-sales - including art that was later widely distributed. Which is what led to the breakdown, but I would assume that what really happened was in paragraphs 46 and 47 of the counterclaim; in other words, when Netflix complained about it, EG basically said, "No big deal." That was the end. As always, complaints (and counterclaims) are just allegations- both sides setting out their story. That said, the counterclaims are well-written, and some of the causes of action (such as the Lanham Act) seem well-founded. [/QUOTE]
