Disturbia did not steal Rear Window plot, judge rules
US judge throws out lawsuit accusing Spielberg-backed 2007 film of copying the Cornell Woolrich short story on which Hitchcock's 1954 thriller was based
One movie stars Shia LaBoeuf as a compulsive voyeur, confined to his home, who becomes convinced that his neighbour is a killer. The other stars James Stewart as a compulsive voyeur, confined to his home, who becomes convinced that his neighbour is a killer. On the face of it, the 2007 thriller Disturbia may look like a direct steal from Alfred Hitchcock's classic Rear Window. Yesterday, however, the courts decided otherwise.
