Novel Writer Ripped Off By Film Company
Granada Media, a film production company based in London, signed a contract with Peter S. Beagle, writer of "The Last Unicorn," to make films based on the novel. Now that they have sold over 600,000 DVDs and made several cable and satellite deals, they've decided not to pay Beagle what he is owed.
Beagle is not a young, and he's not a rich man. I'm sure Granada Media knows this, and they know that he can't put up much of a legal fight on his own. He's currently spending much of his money taking care of his 100-year-old mother. What this poor man needs is a few competent lawyers who will take a look at his case and put up some sort of a legal fight against Granada Media. Big companies should not be able to take advantage of a poor, creative person like this.
