Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer are preparing to face trial for plagiarising the show’s plot lines.
A six-minute film, Montauk is based in the 70s and works as a found-footage piece from the time, which uncovers government experiments.Alleging that he pitched Montauk to become a series to the Duffer Brothers at Tribeca Film Festival in 2014, and gave them ‘materials’ on how the project would work. It would follow the story of a missing boy in the town, and his friends and family’s attempts to find him. At the same time, there would be a government base performing secret experiments on children.Kessler adds they did not show any interest, but later pitched a story, titled Montauk, to Netflix.
That show was later developed into Stranger Things, with Montauk, Long Island being traded for the fictional Hawkins, Indiana.Series one of Stranger Things, which became a huge success, was based in the early 80s, and featured a boy going missing and the effect it has on its family as he appears to be untraceable. There was also a young girl, named Eleven, who was getting experimented on.
The Duffer Brothers tried to have the lawsuit thrown out, however the Los Angeles judge refused, and now they will be facing a court case as a result.however, both shows could simply be based off of the same conspiracy theory that exists surrounding Montauk.
