[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 2215449, member: 7883"] Unfortunately, one of the main articles I referenced was in my local paper...but the print version. They also place their articles online, but you have to purchase an online subscription to get a login and see them. So there's no way to place a link. The other was a big expose/interview I saw on I believe Entertainment Weekly...or the Canadian variant thereof. There is one final article, which I can reference, which was posted on [url]www.cbc.ca[/url], discussing the fact that an author is suing the Ridley Scott, claiming that he stole the author's idea, and used his characters......given the majority of the characters in the movie are actual historical characters (though possibly a fictitious take on what they did), I'm not sure how someone can have copyright over them. Does this imply someone could have copyright over me someday? Maybe I should buy shares now or something :) In any case, the article had a quote I found a little disheartening.....it mentions the writer did 19 months of historical research in order to write the script....but then mentions that he deliberately didn't read the books on the topic, for the precise point of not having a chance that somebody could claim that he copied their work. So, if he read no books, how did he do his research? [url]http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2005/04/29/Arts/kingdom050429.html[/url] Any search of Rotten Tomatoes, the IMDB, or other sources can turn up plenty of other links to articles discussing the same topics covered in this thread.
