On Wednesday June 29, the new feature film by Luc Besson was released in theaters.
In this horrific film, called
Arthur, Curse
, teenagers, fans of the
Arthur and the Invisibles
trilogy , find themselves trapped in the house where the films of their childhood were shot.
On his site, AlloCiné explains that the scriptwriter and producer was inspired for the screenplay of the film, shot in found footage (literally "found recording"),
"many videos of urbex (urban exploration) of fans going to discover the places set of
Arthur and the Minimoys
»
But Arthur Reudet, alias Orbetch on social networks, accuses, not without a touch of humor, the French director of being strongly inspired by his short film, shot on the sets of the original trilogy five years ago.
"Funny to see my short turned into a film a few years later, I would have liked at least to be offered to bring the sandwiches to the team,"
he wrote on Twitter.
It was while watching the trailer for
Arthur
Malédiction that Arthur Reudet noticed the similarities between Luc Besson's feature film and his seven-minute film, whose cast also includes Shanna Besson, one of the girls from the director of The
Fifth Element.
Arthur Reudet notably evokes
“the last seconds of the trailer”
of
Arthur Malédiction.
As a reminder, in 2016, Luc Besson was ordered to pay $465,000 in damages to John Carpenter, his co-screenwriter and Studiocanal for
"counterfeiting"
New
York 1997
in the film
Lock-Out
, released in 2012.
