  Sophia Stewart, The Real Creator of ‘The Matrix,’ Wins Billion Dollar Copyright Case
  February 14, 2013
  
  AFRICANGLOBE – African American author of The Matrix will finally receive her just due from the copyright infringement of her original work!!!
  
  A six-year dispute has ended involving Sophia Stewart, the Wachowski Brothers, Joel Silver and Warner Brothers. Stewart’s allegations, involving copyright infringement and racketeering, were received and acknowledged by the Central District of California, Judge Margaret Morrow presiding.
  
  Stewart, a New Yorker who has resided in Salt Lake City for the past five years, will recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels. She will soon receive one of the biggest payoffs in the history of Hollywood , as the gross receipts of both films and their sequels total over 2.5 billion dollars.
  
  Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, ‘The Third Eye,’ copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works..
  
  According to court documentation, an FBI investigation discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from the original film, in an attempt to avoid penalties for copyright infringement.
  
  
  ‘The reason you have not seen any of this in the media is because Warner Brothers parent company is AOL-Time Warner…. this GIANT owns 95 percent of the media… let me give you a clue as to what they own in the media business… New York Times papers/magazines, LA Times papers/magazines, People Magazine, CNN news, Extra, Celebrity Justice, Entertainment Tonight, HBO, New Line Cinema, DreamWorks, Newsweek, Village Roadshow and many, many more! They are not going to report on themselves. They have been suppressing my case for years.’
  
  Stewart is currently having discussions with CBS about a possible exclusive story and has several media engagements in the near future to nationally publicize her victory.

  I applaud your tremendous work and more importantly your determination to retrieve what belongs to you,this is a trend that has taken the work/creativity of our people for a very long time and profitted from it w/o any compensation including our music(the Skullsnaps)which was used in the Matrix.It's high time we took a stand to reverse this injustice.Thank you Ms Stewart!

  Just wanted to take this opportunity to say, This was the best real view of what black men think. We need this type of film shown in the class room at a very young age in the black & white community. One may ask why the white community, maybe some of them will begin to know that we don't all think alike, we are not all puppets, some of us are unafraid to say the king has no clothes on and please stop repeating untruth about a people. WE DON'T NEED A HAND OUT JUST EQUAL TREATMENT

  At Lulu.com, my recently published biography contains trials, tragedies, and triumphs related to a 15 year odyssey while a teacher and principal of underprivileged kids in elementary schools. Slowly, during that time, churches of all faiths and eventually our entire community came together to support my endeavor. A perfect "sometimes sad, but more often feel-good" Hallmark movie or TV series production type of story. How can I get "Butterflies, Buses and a Guardian Angel" from the "sticks" where I live into film? Thanx. Alexa Sue Hooser

  Hello,
  I was checking out Gérard Depardieu's IMDB page because I'd finished watching "My Afternoons with Margueritte". I saw something interesting, a movie called "Le Père Noël est africain" ("Santa is African"). The IMDb page states it will be a comedy. Gérard Depardieu and Vincent Perez will be staring in the film. The director and writer of the film is Karine Silla, the ex-wife of Gérard Depardieu and present wife of Vincent Perez. Karine Silla was born in Dakar (Senegal) and raised in France. The production company for the film is Thelma Films ("An Open Heart") and Christine Gozlan ("Vera Drake") will be producing it. The year of production states 2011.

  I suggest that you do a story on Steven Spielberg's film "Lincoln". This IMDB description: "As the Civil War nears its end, President Abraham Lincoln clashes with members of his cabinet over the issue of abolishing slavery." Despite the involvement of Tony Kushner and Doris Kearns Goodwin as writers there is no Frederick Douglass character in this film. There is a character listed in the credits as "drunk contraband slave" but no Frederick Douglass character.

  FYI - "Cuban Actors Disappear En Route to New York Film Festival Premiere" - Yahoo! - "In a case of life imitating art, a pair of young Cuban actors who were expected at the New York premiere of their film about defecting to the U.S. have disappeared after landing in Miami. The film "Una Noche" is about three young Cubans who decide to flee the country on a raft after one of them is accused of assault. The film follows the day they attempt to make it 90 miles across the ocean to Florida. All three of the film's stars—Anailin de la Rua de la Torre, Javier Nunez Florian and Dariel Arrechaga—were expected to appear at New York's Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere. But Torre and Florian, both 19, were nowhere to be found the night of the event.

  Hi
  I really need you guys to write within the context of the 'diaspora' as in people are reading this from all over the world and not simply the USA. Commenting on a film release and making reference to it showing "all over the country" is not helpful for anyone other than those who continue to read internet stories with a north American hat on.
  Please please realise that people watch, read and listen all over the world and the lack of appreciation for this is noteable particularly in the article regarding "Think like a man."
  Best wishes and keep up the great efforts.

  Keep history alive by telling that history:
  
  Read the greatest 'historical novel', Rescue at Pine Ridge, the first generation of Buffalo Soldiers. The website is: http://www.rescueatpineridge.com This is the greatest story of Black Military History...5 stars Amazon Internationally, and Barnes & Noble. Youtube commercials are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD66NUKmZPs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVslyHmDy9A&feature=related
  
  Rescue at Pine Ridge is the story of the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers. The 7th Cavalry was entrapped again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. This story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism, redemption and gallantry.
  
  You’ll enjoy the novel that embodies the Native Americans, Outlaws and African-American/Black soldiers, from the south to the north, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approaching United States of America.
  
  The novel was taken from my mini-series movie with the same title, “RaPR” to keep the story alive. The movie so far has the interest of, Mr. Bill Duke, Hill Harper, Glynn Turman, James Whitmore Jr., Reginald T. Dorsey and a host of other major actors in which we are in talks with, in starring in this epic American story.
  
  When you get a chance, also please visit our Alpha Wolf Production website at; http://www.alphawolfprods.com and see our other productions, like Stagecoach Mary, the first Black Woman to deliver mail for the US Postal System in Montana, in the 1890's, “spread the word”.
  
  Peace.

  The real ‘Stagecoach Mary’ story:
  
  Mary Fields, Black Mary, and ‘Stagecoach Mary’ are all one of the same person. Mary was born in 1832, a slave in Arkansas and was owned by a Catholic family; the plantation owner had a single girl child the same age as Mary. Mary’s mother was the House Slave Servant and the plantation owners’ favorite cook; therefore Mary was always in the main house, in the kitchen and not in the fields, as a Field Slave. Mary’s father was a Field Slave, and Field Slaves were not allowed in the Main House, much less, to court a House Slave. Mary’s mother became pregnant by Mary’s father and he was beaten and sold to another plantation for getting Mary’s mother pregnant. After Mary’s birth, Mary’s mother and her were allowed to stay in the main house, and Mary became the plantation owner daughters’ playmate, therefore being the owners daughter’s playmate, Mary was allowed to read and write, a rarity for that time.
  
  After the emancipation and coming into adulthood, Mary was 6 feet tall and weighed over 200 pounds. Mary became her own woman and traveled solely from Arkansas, up and down the Mississippi River, to Ohio, then finally to Montana where she got her nickname at the turn of the 20th Century. She earned this nickname by working for the “United States Postal System” delivering the United States Mail through adverse conditions that would have discouraged the most hardened frontiersmen of her time. All by herself, she never missed a day for 8 years, carrying the U. S. Mail and other important documents that helped settle the wild open territory of central west Montana.
  
  Mary had no fear of man, nor beast, and this sometimes got her into trouble. She delivered the mail regardless of the heat of the day, cold of night, wind, rain, sleet, snow, blizzards, Indians and Outlaws.
  
  Mary was a cigar smoking, shotgun and pistol toting Negro Woman, who even frequented saloons drinking whiskey with the men, a privilege only given to her, as a woman. However, not even this fact, sealed Mary's credentials given to her, her credentials boasted that, “She would knockout any man with one punch”, a claim which she proved true.
  
  Her fame was so acclaimed, even the Actor, Gary Cooper, two time Academy Award Winner, told a story about her in 1959 which appeared in Ebony Magazine that same year. While, Annie Oakley and Martha Canary (Calamity Jane) were creating their history with Buffalo Bill, Stagecoach Mary was making “her Epic Journey!”
  
  Despite Mary's hardness, she had another side of her, a kindness so strong, even today, in the beginning of the 21st Century, the town of Cascade, Montana, and other surrounding communities celebrate her birthday. The Epic movie is in pre-production mode. Check out website at http://www.stagecoachmary.net

  Greetings Folks,
  
  I truly enjoy all of the great content you post. I was wondering if anyone was able to catch Come Back, Africa at the Film Forum and if there will be a review on it.
  
  Cheers in film!

  Just came across this kickstarter campaign: http://kck.st/q98lDK
  
  It's for a documentary about a Brooklyn bar owned, operated, and catering to black lgbt people. I'm not associated with it in any way, but it looks like a worthy project(with a great aesthetic) and I haven't seen it profiled on the S&A blog. They need 25,000 by Dec 5 and so far they have 21,000 + and 265 backers...

  Stephen Adly Guirgis just posted a rant on Facebook concerning the 2 Puerto Rican characters of his play , The Motherfu**er with the Hat, being replaced by white actors in the CT production. He is angry about it, so I figured this is right up S & A's alley.

• LABlover | December 1, 2011 11:10 AM

  Here for the same reason as Yoga Lover - I'd be happy to connect you to the playwright and company should you wish to further pursue this red-hot topic. Already covered by The NY Times, Gothamist, Playbill, etc. I'm at http://gplus.to/uku if ya need me xo

  Hi,
  It would be nice to see this as a post to get everyone's opinion on an article that appeared in the NY Times recently referring to Atlanta as the new "Black Hollywood"
  
  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/us/atlanta-emerges-as-a-center-of-black-entertainment.html?_r=2&pagewanted=all%3Fsrc%3Dtp&smid=fb-share
  
  With Tyler Perry and Soul Train Awards out there, what doe this mean to Black moviemakers and actors? Is it true and a positive move.
  
  Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  I found this on EW. Debbie Allen will be Grey's Anatomy this season. She will be playing one of the doctor's Mom. She has also been directing a few episodes as well. Thought you may want to feature this on the site.

  Love what you are doing! I have a doc that we created about the African American man who started the sport of Hockey in the country of Turkey. He was stationed there in the '80's and he was from Michigan and played hockey growing up. He got a group of Turks, taught them and they created a team. Today Hockey is a major sport there and it all started with Glen Brown. Let me know if you guys are interested in this. Thank you!
