“Back to the Future” Co-Writer Defends Apple and Shyamalan in Copyright Infringement Trial

The co-writer of the iconic film “Back to the Future” has addressed a California federal jury, urging them to dismiss the copyright infringement case against Apple and director M. Night Shyamalan. The case, brought by an independent filmmaker, alleges that Apple and Shyamalan’s Apple TV+ series “Servant” infringes on her work. The co-writer humorously suggested that the filmmaker “make like a tree and get out of the courtroom,” asserting that her film bears no resemblance to “Servant.” For more details on this legal drama, visit Law360.
