Best-selling author of the Rizzoli & Isles crime series Tess Gerritsen -- who sold the rights to her novel Gravity in 1999 -- is now suing Warner Bros. for stealing the premise of her work, and turning it into last year’s massively successful, Alfonso Cuaron-directed film.
In 1999, Gerritsen sold the Gravity rights to Katja Motion Picture Corporation and its parent company, New Line Productions. Gerritsen’s premise -- which featured a lone female astronaut floating adrift in the vastness of space, as well as satellite debris crashing into the International Space Station -- was also the basis of the 2013 film.
While Gerritsen believed her project to be dead in 2002, she claims that New Line -- which has since been acquired by Warner Bros. -- stole her idea, and used it for their eventual film of the same name.
