Guillermo del Toro has successfully brushed off a copyright lawsuit accusing him of stealing the idea for his Oscar-winning sci-fi romance The Shape of Water.
In 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Percy Anderson dismissed legal action brought by representatives overseeing the estate of the playwright Paul Zindel, who accused the director of lifting plot elements from the late dramatist s 1969 play, Let Me Hear You Whisper. The case was reinstated by appeals court officials last summer, and a trial was due to begin in July, but on Friday, representatives for del Toro and studio officials behind the movie revealed the two sides had since agreed to have the dispute dismissed, with each party covering its own legal expenses.
