Writer from Russia Mikhail Consumables argues that the author of the novel "the Martian" by Andy Weir and Director of the eponymous film by Ridley Scott blatantly "plagiarised" his work. The concept and plot of the movie with the same name of Russia was created in 2007. In subsequent years had a ready script which Supplies sent out by domestic and foreign film studios.

But feedback is not received. For the implementation of the Russian project "the Martian" company was chosen as "Seven ART" removing the TV series "Interns" and "Univer". Andy Weir, author of foreign best-seller "the Martian", and began working on it in 2009 and completed in two years. In 2014 he published a paper version of the novel. This gives reason Raskhodnikova to believe that Weir wrote his piece based on his work: "the Whole outline of the plot and characters are very similar", — quoted writer TJournal.

the Lawyer Raskhodnikova appealed directly to Fox owning the film rights to "the Martian", where he said that Weir never read the Russian script. The answer of Russians are not satisfied, and they went to court with a claim of copyright infringement in the amount of 50 million rubles.

Resource "Kinopoisk" reports the Russian film "the Martian", the premiere of which is scheduled for 2015. In the story, the Red planet will go Russian cosmonaut Vasily Chapaev, which there will be in distress and will detect the presence of some kind of reasonable life.

Hollywood "Martian" meeting with extraterrestrial intelligence is not scheduled, but he will also experience the misadventures on Mars. Its premiere will take place on 8 October.
