Une poursuite a été déposée mardi contre Quentin Tarantino. L’entreprise de production Miramax veut empêcher le cinéaste de mettre aux enchères sous format digital des clips inédits, des pages de scripts et des extraits audio de son film mythique Pulp Fiction.
Au début du mois, le réalisateur a dévoilé son intention de vendre sous forme de jeton non fongible (NFT) des séquences inédites de son film récipiendaire de la Palme d’Or à Cannes en 1994 ainsi que d’autres éléments reliés au long métrage.
Or, Miramax, qui a produit le film, affirme qu’une telle vente constitue une violation de ses droits d’auteur.
« La conduite de Tarantino a forcé Miramax à engager cette plainte […] In order to secure, preserve and protect its intellectual and contractual rights to one of the films in its most famous catalog,” Miramax says in its lawsuit.
Quentin Tarantino’s lawyer asserts that in this case, his client is acting in accordance with the “reserved rights” at his disposal.
