We don’t think funnyman Adam Sandler will be laughing about the lawsuit he’s been slapped with!
Comic book author Robert Cabell is suing Sandler, his production company, Sony and Columbia Pictures for copyright infringement!!
Cabell claims Sandler stole the idea for 2008’s You Don’t Mess with the Zohan from his comic book series, Hair-Raising Adventures of Jayms Blonde.
Somebody actually wants to take responsibility for that shiteous film?
Way to go!
Zohan follows the story of an “Israeli special forces officer who fakes his death and takes a job as a New York City hairdresser,” while Jayms Blonde, is the chronicle of a “Navy SEAL-turned-hairdresser out to get corporate evildoers armed with an Uzi-style blow-dryer.”
Just a tad similar!
Cabell even pitched the idea for a Jayms Blonde film to Columbia in 2007, around the same time Zohan started filming.
Zohan Co-writer Robert Smigel has said in previous interviews that the inspiration behind Zohan was taken from two Saturday Night Live sketches, “Sabra Price Is Right” and Sandler’s very first SNL sketch, “Sabra Shopping Network.”
What do U think???
Did Sandler steal the idea for Zohan or is it a freaky coincidence??
