Slash Film is reporting that the creators of the worst viewed movies of all time Delgo is thinking about taking legal action against James Cameron’s new flick Avatar.
You can read the rest of their thoughts here,
((S.T. Vanairsdale of Movieline said, "James Cameron seems to have been influenced by some similar visuals and themes," going on to declare the two films share "uncanny parallels." WorstPreviews.com cited that the "characters and the universes of both films are almost identical." Online movie critic, JoBlo, said Avatar and Delgo were "undeniably similar," also noting that a side-by-side comparison of the two films was "pretty damn conclusive and practically warrant a likeness lawsuit from the lowest grossing movie ever to be filed against the director of the highest grossing movie ever."))
I really don’t see it. The main races are a little different. Delgo has strange frog people and Avatar has some elf-like creatures that are huge. I don’t think they have a case.
I can tell you this; James Cameron has probably never seen Delgo, like most of the world.
It does sound like the Delgo people are trying to tie their ignored movie with the buzz that Avatar is receiving right now. In turn, this will boost their DVD sells. Delgo made just around $695 from a 40 million dollar budget.

Don't take my word for it...
