Dan Ackerman
Dan Ackerman, editor in chief of the tech-news site Gizmodo, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court on Monday accusing Apple, the Tetris Co., and others of adapting his book about the landmark video game “Tetris” into a feature film without his permission.
Blake Brittain of Reuters writes, “Ackerman said he sent his book ‘The Tetris Effect’ in 2016 to the Tetris Company, which allegedly copied it for the movie and threatened to sue him if he pursued his own film or television spinoffs.
“The ‘Tetris’ film premiered on the Apple TV platform in March. Ackerman asked the court for money damages equaling at least 6% of the film’s $80 million production budget.
“Representatives for Apple and the Tetris Company did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the lawsuit on Tuesday.”
