So there's this scene I wrote in my script -- Jason and Eric agree to meet up at this warehouse. It starts off a friendly conversation and then it turns into an argument when it's established that Eric betrayed Jason. So Jason grabs out a gun and shoots Eric in the stomach three times. Jason goes up to Eric, who is lying on the floor, and looks down at him. Angry, Eric goes, "You motherf**ker!" But then Jason shoots him a few more times, killing him.
That scene is inspired by a scene from the 2005 film Four Brothers -- Detective Greene and Detective Fowler are at the bar and Greene suspects that Fowler is a crooked cop, so Greene takes Fowler's gun and badge and leaves to get into his car, but Fowler follows him out (Greene doesn't know Fowler had a second gun) and SHOOTS Greene three times... Angry, Greene goes, "You motherf**ker!" But then Fowler shoots him a few more times, killing him.
In any case, could Paramount sue us for copying that scene? I really like that scene in Four Brothers and think it wouldn't look bad in my film too but we don't wanna get sued, but it is in my script.
