BET and Paramount Pictures Sued Over 'Dreamgirls'
December 18th, 2009
On the surface, those in entertainment knows this happens quite often. What remains to be seen is if the person is being honest in his lawsuit. If he is, Paramount (who produced Dreamgirls) is an absolute idiot for not at least changing the names and characters.
What is also unclear to Mo’Kelly in this story is why the lawsuit comes now instead of when the original Broadway show debuted back in the 80s…which goes back to the “honesty” question.
Anyhow, check it out HERE and tell Mo’Kelly your collective thoughts. On a side note, anytime BET gets sued (frivolous lawsuit or not) it’s a good day.
THIS JUST IN:
Mo’Kelly was doing some secondary research on the plaintiff in this case, Samuel G. Bailey and not only has Bailey sued a production company before, over the movie Boomerang (as indicated in the linked story), but also sued director F. Gary Gray and Warner Bros. over supposed copyright infringement in the development of the movie The Negotiator. Mo’Kelly notices a “pattern” and Samuel doesn’t seem to be all that balanced mentally. BET and Paramount probably don’t have much to worry about it seems.

Granted, the majority of us are going through financial difficulties at this time. However, I feel that Bailey may be using this as a "meal ticket". And why is he just suing now when the movie Dreamgirls came out in 2006? If I supposedly wrote the screeplay for this and a movie was made, best believe I would have filed a lawsuit in 2007. Also, like you said Mo, if Paramount did take Bailey's material, than they are idiots. Makes you wonder…
More than likely that respondent “Anointed” is noneotherthan Mo’ Kelly himself; any one who would title himself as “Mr” in his email would likely describe himself as “blessed”, a depiction of “anointed”. Kelly is a puppet for the thieves (BET, Paramount Pictures, and Viacom) who lucidly violated 17 USCA Sections 106, 501, 506, and 18 USCA 2319 by using my screenplay “Poison Passion” without my consent to make the movie “Dreamgirls”. And they are continuing to earn millions as a profit in having done so. I received letters from BET, contrary to media article, proving that the crooks had access to and possession of my script “Poison Passion”. I also provided federal court with my screenplay and a multitude of statements from it to prove Plagiarism. In the long run, Justice shall prevail.
You are now banned from this site. I have had enough of you.
Evidently you didn’t prove plagiarism…you lost.
