Did Movies Rip This Ellison Story Off?

Harlan Ellison is not just a Grand Master of science fiction but a grand master of litigation. And If New Regency Productions’ lawyers are smart they’ll check his track record in the courtroom before rejecting out of hand his claim that their client ripped off what is possibly Ellison’s most famous short story.

The soon-to-be-released movie In Time, featuring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfreid, has many elements in common with Ellison’s 1965 Nebula and Hugo Award winning short story “Repent, Harlequin!” Said The Ticktockman.  Ellison wants to stop the movie before it’s released.

If you think There goes Harlan Ellison again, you might want to read the particulars of his claim. They’re pretty convincing.

If you haven’t read the story in question you’ll find it in  Paingod and Other Delusions, one of thirty Harlan Ellison works published by E-Reads. Robert Heinlein said, “This book is raw corn liquor–-you should serve a whiskbroom with each shot so the customer can brush the sawdust off after he gets up from the floor.”
