While Beyonce is celebrates the sucess of Lemonade album going platinum, her camp & lawyers are now having to take on a new lawsuit stemming from the album’s trailer. According to Hollywood Reporter,
independent filmmaker Matthew Fulks is suing the pop singer for
allegedly copying his short film, "Palinoia", for her visual trailer of Lemonade prior to its release. See photos of the copied scenes after the cut.
In the lawsuit, Fulks says he cited nine similarities between his piece and her minute-long teaser.
Beyoncé Sued Over Lemonade Trailer, allege Copyed another Short Film
Fulks
says he was contacted about the opportunity to direct a video by the
Columbia-signed musical group MS MR, and as a result, links to his
fillm, Palinoia, were sent to others including Bryan Younce, who has
created videos for Beyonce and has been credited on her self-titled 2013
album. The lawsuit claims that back in July, Younce requested Fulks'
email and that later he sent the plaintiff a note acknowledging that he
had received his "info" with an invitation to submit a treatment for
consideration by Columbia.
Five months later, the filming
of Lemonade began and the rest is history. Peep photos of the two films’
similarities in the gallery above and let us know what you think of it.
