A Vancouver man has given Hollywood director James Cameron and film studio 20th Century Fox until Thursday to pay $100 million for allegedly violating copyright of his original work that he claims was used in the blockbuster film Avatar. Emil Malak claims that Cameron and the film studio violated copyright by borrowing 45 elements of Malak’s sci-fi script, Terra Incognita, including the names of characters, their visual representations and the blue planet with a Tree of Life that Malak says he created in 1997. Malak claims he sent his script in 2002 to Cameron’s company, Lightstorm Entertainment.
Merging west coast surf-tones with east coast nonchalance, New York darlings, Des Roar, rocked Toronto’s socks off at the record release party for their sophomore record, The Watchers. Following the success of their first album, Mad Things, fans and critics alike have awaited the new release with baited breath.

The band’s focus and energy were intense, given that they’d spent the whole day shooting the video for ‘Hallucinations’, the album’s first single. Des Roar collaborated with 3D Camera Company to film the production in 3D, a new and powerful approach to music videos, capturing the intensity of live performance by drawing the audience into the environment.
