If you're going to sue someone famous over a famous movie... chances are, you'll lose. Sorry. A guy who claimed Sacha Baron Cohen ripped off his idea for the Velcro scene in "Bruno" couldn't get the lawsuit to stick in court. One of the many examples of how hard it is to really prove the ownership of intellectual property.
According to documents just filed in federal court in California, a judge ruled that the "Bruno" scene didn't have enough in common with a scene from an unmade movie called "Himbos" ... in which some dude was also supposed to don a Velcro suit and wreak havoc at a fashion show.
It's hard to feel bad for the guy suing Cohen... because everyone seems to do that at some point. So YAY for Sacha's singular legal victory!
