[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 1111370, member: 2795"] Quite weak. Every point of similiarity is either something that is from the "well duh" category (i.e., silver hurts werewolves), has been done before (i.e., werewolves changing form at will and fighting in hybrid form), has ample precedent in literature and other movies (i.e., vampires having the strength of 10 men [c.f., Bram Stoker] or a vampire's bite being linked to sensuality [c.f., just about everything other than Stoker]). The points of similiarity between the movie and Collins's work are easily explained by the fact that they both decided to rip-off the Bard. It's copycats bringing suit against copycats. If I were Sony, I'd bury WW in years of legal tie-ups, crushing them into the ground with my millions and millions of dollars. Of course, I'm a bit mean-spirited at times. :D But, at most, Sony will settle out of court. The settlement will be sealed from the public. Nothing will come from this other than that. No one will prove anything. WW will trumpet about their "victory" while continuing the point away from the fact that their own products are equally derivative and just as open to criticism via long lists of points of similiarity.
