Hollywood studio Miramax sues director Quentin Tarantino over his plans to sell digital collectibles based on his 1994 film 'Pulp Fiction.'
The lawsuit by Miramax, which produced the film and is
Bein Media Group and ViacomCBS, alleges that Tarantino also plans to sell NFTs of page scans and digital film props.03:42 According to the suit, which seeks unspecified damages, a lawyer responded to Miramax's Nov. 4 cease-and-desist letter by saying Tarantino holds reserved rights to print publication of the script."The proposed sale of a few original script pages or scenes as an NFT is a one-time transaction, which does not constitute publication, and in any event does not fall within the intended meaning of 'print publication' or 'screenplay publication,'" the suit says.
In the suit, which was filed in federal court in Los Angeles, Miramax argues that Tarantino essentially signed away rights to"all media" for"Pulp Fiction" in perpetuity when the film was under development in 1993. "Miramax holds the rights needed to develop, market, and sell NFTs relating to its deep film library," the suit says.Diana Dasrath is entertainment producer and senior reporter for NBC News covering all platforms.
