      Luc Besson Found Guilty Of Plagiarising Escape From New York

      The initial ruling ordered studio EuropaCorp to pay €10,000 (just over £7,300) to director Carpenter, a further €20,000 to  the writers (Carpenter and Nick Castle), and €50,000 to Studiocanal, the film’s current rights holders. Besson (whose other writer-producer credits include the ‘Taken’ and ‘Transporter’ franchises) appealed  the decision, but this did not work out in his favour, as he has now been ordered to pay a total of €450,000 in damages to Carpenter and Studiocanal. By comparison, ‘Escape From New York’ stars Kurt Russell as disgraced war hero Snake Plissken, who is offered a pardon if he rescues the President himself from New York City, which has been refashioned as a maximum security prison.
