    Cameron wrote his script back in ´94, this guy wrote his novel ´97, ergo Cameron wins, chinese guy loose :D

    But this is just usually behavior, people want attention, some weeks ago a russian author started the same crap.

    Thumbs up

    Cameron wrote the Avatar script in 1994, claiming that it was based on "every single science fiction book I read as a kid." Every single one? That could add up to a lot of lawsuits...
