M. Night Shyamalan wins dismissal of Servant copyright suit
, accusing Shyamalan of lifting her story and “bastardizing” it through a male gaze. Both works are about a grieving mother who cares for a doll as if it were a real child, and her relationship with a female baby-sitter.
“Beyond this unprotectable shared premise, the works’ storylines diverge drastically and quickly,” the judge wrote. For instance, in “Servant,” the doll comes back to life. The judge also cited stark contrasts in theme and mood, saying that “Servant” proves to be much darker, verging on horror, while “The Truth About Emanuel” is “hopeful and positive,” exploring themes of redemption and healing. The judge ruled that the plaintiff had overstated the similarities between the characters, the setting, and other aspects.
