Via MSNBC.
“The Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown was accused in Britain’s High Court on Monday of taking material for his blockbuster conspiracy thriller from a 1982 book about the Holy Grail.More here.
The accusation was made in a breach of copyright lawsuit filed against “The Da Vinci Code” publisher Random House. If the lawsuit succeeds in getting an injunction barring use of the disputed material, the scheduled May 19 release of “The Da Vinci Code” film starring Tom Hanks and Ian McKellan could be threatened.
Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, authors of “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail,” sued their own publisher, Random House. Random House denies the claim.
