VANDOR REP SUES WACHOWSKIS, SILVER, WARNER BROS. OVER “MATRIX” - $200 MILLION DOLLARS, INFRINGEMENT AND RACKETEERING CHARGED

Hollywood, CA.

News releases concerning Vandor Music Group’s signing of two new production agencies and labels to their current 400-plus roster have ignited a media firestorm over a dispute of ownership of the original script of the film “Matrix” and it’s subsequent releases.

On April 24, 2003, Vandor affiliate Sophia Stewart, Salt Lake City, UT, filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court of California against Hollywood defendants Andy and Larry Wachowski, Joel Silver and Warner Brothers alleging copyright infringement of the movie "Matrix", all subsequent releases, and racketeering.

During an FBI investigation, key pieces of evidence were found establishing Sophia Stewart as writer/author of “Matrix”. Credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers have come forward claiming company executives and lawyers had full knowledge the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski brothers. Witnesses also stated the original work of Stewart had been seen, and often used, during preparation of the motion picture.

Stewart submitted her original script through so-called ‘recommended’ channels several years prior to the Wachowski brother’s claim to authorship. Revenues from the motion pictures and merchandising are in the hundreds of millions of dollars and growing.

Stewart’s entertainment company “All Eyez on Me, Inc.” and Pop Silk Records have been contracted with Vandor Motion Pictures, Phonorecords and Music Publishing Group (vmgworldwide.com) as a production facility offering world wide promotion, licensing and distribution for the label since January 1st, 2003.

Vandor Motion Pictures, Phonorecords and Music Publishing Group, founded in 1958, has built a 45-Year reputation on independent product, artists, labels, publishers and producers. The company site - vmgworldwide.com - has been on-line for seven years and logged well over 10,000,000 hits and site downloads making it the number one source of accurate recorded music industry information in the world.


If this is true, this lady is about to get P-A-I-D.

If it\'s true, it would explain a lot; like why the first film was great, but the sequels sucked ass.  Also why the Wachowskis never gave interviews about their great artistic creation.  :)

Apparently she has been trying to get them to own up for years.

They probably were trying to prove enough so that she didn\'t look like a complete idiot just claiming it was hers.

Don\'t assume her story is true.  You never know with these things.

Oh, I\'m not.  But it would make sense that this time has been used to make a case.  She could just be completely lying though, we\'ll see.

That\'s funny, I was the guy who made the video game...

Though, I\'ll never own up to that.

I\'m kind of skeptical but then again kind of believe her. This probably happens a lot in Hollywood, where movies and scripts are stolen and stuff.

You know, if they really did steal it this would be ****ing huge.

They would probably have her rewrite a the rest of the trilogy, if their was suppose to even be one.

Man, that would be awesome.

Could be true seeing how those idiot brothers rewrote the whole picture in the second movie. Then destroyed the series in the 3rd.

Although I like 1 and 2 you can tell from 3 they had no clue what this movie was really suppose to be about.

If she is lying well I take it all back.
