Stranger Things -tekijät varastivat sarjan idean Montauk -lyhytelokuvasta?
Aika röyhkeää. Käyttäneet vielä kyseisen lyhytelokuvan nimeä myydessään sarjan oikeudet Netflixille, mutta eivät ole antaneet mitään krediittiä (ja tuottoja) ideasta alkuperäiselle tekijälle.

The director of “Montauk,” a six-minute film about an incident on a Long Island beach, filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing the creators of “Stranger Things” of ripping off the idea. Charlie Kessler says he made the short film in 2012 as a teaser for a feature film to be called “The Montauk Project.”
He alleges that he pitched the idea to Matt and Ross Duffer, the co-creators of the Netflix sci-fi hit, when they met at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2014. Kessler says the idea went nowhere at the time, but the Duffer brothers used it as the germ for “Stranger Things,” which debuted in 2016.
The short film uses found footage to tell a story about paranormal phenomena in the vicinity of a government facility. “Stranger Things,” which was originally sold to Netflix under the title “Montauk,” also involves supernatural phenomena surrounding a government lab. The setting for the show was later shifted to Indiana.

Idealla että valtion labran ympärillä tapahtuu paranormaaleja asioita ei vielä kuuhun mennä.
Olisi melkolailla pidemmälle pitänyt ideaa kehitellä. Mutta menestys vetää kärpäsiä puoleensa.

Sivulta 10 tiivistystä Kesslerin juonesta. On kyllä tosi samanlainen kuin Stranger Thingistä. Pojan katoaminen tyhjään ilmaan äkillisesti, poliisi, jota oma menneisyys vaivaa, alkaa etsiä kadonnutta poikaa. Isommat pomot yrittävät estää poliisia. Samaan aikaan hallitus tekee lapsilla kokeita...
Lapsia käytetään kokeissa, joiden tarkoitus on kehittää yliluonnolllisia (psychic) aseita...
Psyykkisiä aseita ja lasten henkisiä kykyjä kehitellään metallisen, elektronisen tuolin avulla, johon lapsi laitetaan istumaan ja hänen päähänsä asetetaan metallinen päähine.
Maanalainen tunneliverkosto löytyy myös...
Kokeissa on jotenkin epäonnistuttu ja tuloksena on hirviö, joka on päässyt vapaaksi. Hallitus yrittää salata sitä.
No niin on Matrix ja Star Wars myös kopioita. A ghost in the cell ja Valerian (tjsp).

Kessler claims that he presented his idea to the brothers at a 2014 Tribeca Film Festival party, and that it was based on his short film Montauk, which debuted at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2012. Kessler says he wanted to develop the short into a feature film titled The Montauk Project, and that he gave the Duffers “the script, ideas, story, and film” to flesh out the idea—which they allegedly took and spun into the series Stranger Things. As Deadline notes, it’s true that Stranger Things was originally pitched to Netflix with the title Montauk, and was set in Montauk, Long Island—though it was later transplanted to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.
.
Kessler’s Montauk is also about a missing boy, military experiments on kids, and a monster from another dimension, Deadline reports.
.
That said, there’s also another similar project that predates both Montauk and Stranger Things. Per Variety, a 1992 book titled The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time, written by Preston B. Nichols and Peter Moon, is about a series of secret government experiments at Montauk’s Camp Hero State Park, which conspiracy theorists believe really happened. Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo noted the inspiration in a 2017 interview with Wired, saying the show was somewhat based on those Camp Hero experiments. The plot thickens.
