Was the premise really that original though?

The concept of people being inside a show or a monitored facility with or without their knowledge has been done many times for various types of films. There have also been many horror parody flicks that had a similar character set b/c it was damn near essential to have a jock, a dweeb, a whore, and a virgin in an 80s slasher movie.

Copyright infringement is very hard to prove.


He has to prove that they read his book and that they intentionally stole it.


Thought I read somewhere that Whedon and ol boy came up with idea years ago and it was in development hell for a while.
