Nightcrawler lawsuit
After the theatrical premiere of Nightcrawler, Richard Dutcher sued its director, claiming Nightcrawler was a rip-off of Dutcher's film, since the main character of both films is a journalist who sells records of crimes and murders to various media, and both films take place in Los Angeles.[7]
Dutcher's attorney Stephen Silverman stated that Nightcrawler has enough in common with Falling to justify the lawsuit.
After three years, judge Dee Benson agreed that the two films have some similarities.[8]
On August 19, 2019, Benson closed the case, saying that similar elements are a necessary ingredient for stringer-themed films, and that the two films are too different to have any major copyright infringement.[9]
