Indian Action Drama ‘Stolen’ Inspired by Social Injustice, Mob Lynchings, Child Abductions

On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around. That is exactly what Mark St. Germain did in creating his 2009 play Freud’s Last Session, which was built on the 1967 Harvard lectures of Dr. Armond M. Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.”

Sick Of It All have filed a lawsuit against Mobb Deep over their recent collaboration with Supreme, which allegedly infringes on their trademark logo.The issue relates to the New York hardcore band’s logo, the “Alleyway Crew Dragon”, which the members introduced in 1987 – a year after they formed – and have used in their recordings, merchandise, and advertisements in the time since.Filed last Wednesday (October 11), the lawsuit names Mobb Deep’s Havoc (Kejuan Muchita), the estate of the late rapper Prodigy (Albert Johnson), and Supreme’s owner Chapter 4 Corp as defendants.This comes as streetwear brand Supreme released a collaboration with hip-hop duo Mobb Deep this past summer, which included items featuring the dragon logo on shirts, hats, and other apparel.According to a report by Stereogum, the documents say that the “cases arise out of Defendants’ improper and illegal use of a nearly identical logo mark to Plaintiff’s inherently distinctive, incontestable and famous logo”.A post shared by Supreme (@supreme__hustle)“Immediately prior to the institution of this lawsuit, plaintiff demanded that defendants cease use of their infringing logo and provide an accounting to plaintiff of sales of the infringing goods,” it reads. “Defendants refused to comply with those demands.”As reported by Pitchfork, the suit asks the court to prevent the defendants from using the logo “or any other mark or marks confusingly similar thereto,” as well as a full accounting of revenue generated from using the logo, any products with the logo for destruction and cease of online use, compensatory damages and attorney’s fees.

Sick of It All are suing Mobb Deep and Supreme for copyright infringement, Billboard reports. The lawsuit was filed in the hardcore band's native New York on October 11; Sick of It All claim that the band's "Alleyway Crew dragon" logo was plagiarized for a collaboration between the rap duo and the streetwear brand. The case names Supreme’s owner Chapter 4 Corp alongside a corporate entity owned by Havoc and the estate of Prodigy (the rapper died in 2017), claiming that the logo featured on the Supreme x Mobb Deep T-shirts and caps is "virtually identical" to the one they have used since 1987.
