On the eve of the 2024 Academy Awards, Variety reports that a screenwriter, Simon Stephenson , has leveled accusations that the screenplay for Alexander Payne’s movie The Holdovers is “plagiarised line-by-line” from Stephenson’s unproduced screenplay Frisco.
Variety: > At the heart of Stephenson’s complaint is the contention that Payne had the “Frisco” script in both 2013 and again in late 2019, right before Payne approached Hemingson about collaborating on a project. That contention seems to be backed up by emails involving several Hollywood agencies and producers. In addition to a nomination for the Best Picture prize, The Holdovers has also been nominated for best original screenplay.
