Writer Claims Hannah Montana Was His Idea
Creative ideas can only go so far in Hollywood, as they usually end up in the courtroom, battling it out on who had the original idea and for intellectual property rights. Shows and movies that have garnered success are usually the victim of these law suits, as someone suddenly shows up, claiming that the original idea was stolen from them. Recently, the victim was Disney's Hannah Montana, which was sued for a couple of cases.
This weekend, a comedy writer filed a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company, stating that in 2001, he already had an idea for a show, however with a different title.
Taylor "Buddy" Sheffield, a veteran comedy writer, is suing for alleged breach of contract, breach of confidence, unfair competition and unjust enrichment. The show he came up with six years ago was entitled Rock and Roland, which was about a middle school girl who had a secret alter-ego as a rock star. Sounds too much like Hannah Montana, in which Miley Cyrus stars as Miley Stewart, a school student who also is teen star Hannah Montana. On the show, only her father and closest friends know about her being Hannah.
The Associated Press reports that Sheffield had previously written for
The Smothers Brothers, The Dolly Parton Show, and In Living Color. He also created Nickelodeon's Roundhouse. A CBS affiliate also reported that in the lawsuit, Sheffield states that, "The series revolved around a junior high school student who appears to lead an entirely unremarkable life, but is secretly a pop/rock star and the main breadwinner for his family," adding that is a "blatant copy of 'Rock and Roland."
These kinds of lawsuits are common in Hollywood, as such has happened in 1977, when a writer claimed that Aaron Spelling stole the idea for a show called Family. In 2005, two individuals filed suit against Simon Cowell, accusing him of stealing the idea for American Inventor, which they claimed was originally The Million Dollar Idea. In 2006, Rachel Ray was also in the news as a man claimed that she stole his idea for Inside Dish with Rachel Ray.
