But today, get submitted to us by S. Beam, who writes.

I just read on the Hollywood Reporter that the predator screenwriters are seeking to take

back the rights to the movie by suing Disney, which now owns the IP since the Fox purchase.

This particular copyright termination law allows authors to cancel transfers after waiting

a period of time, typically 35 years.

If they win this, what could it mean for other 1980s movies?

Could this be a good thing or a bad thing for those who currently hold rights for older

movies?

Pretty intriguing.

All right.

Thanks a lot for sending that in, man.

And yeah, this is fascinating stuff.

Now normally most film fans don't care about the legal mumbo jumbo of this, that or the

other thing, but this is actually pretty interesting.

The basic idea here is that what are they, what are the name of the guys?

These two brothers did, they're the ones who wrote a spec script, all right?

They weren't hired to write the script.

They wrote a spec script called Hunters, which later turned into predators.

And they sold this script to 20th century Fox, so they could make it into a movie and

all that sort of stuff.

Here's the thing, section 203 of the Copyright Law of the Copyright Act has a clause that

I've never heard of.
