  • Baker Marquart and Quinn Emanuel Win Jury Verdict in Last Samurai Case
    Baker Marquart and Quinn Emanuel Win Jury Verdict in Last Samurai Case Law360, New York (May 24, 2012, 11:30 AM ET) -- With the reputations of “The Last Samurai” director Edward Zwick and his longtime collaborator Marshall Herskovitz on the line, Gary Gans of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP fought back against allegations of screenplay theft with a multipronged strategy that used the film itself as its own defense. The case centered on two screenwriting brothers, Aaron and Matthew Benay, who in 2005 claimed Zwick and Herskovitz, along with Bedford Falls Productions, had stolen the idea for the 2003 Tom Cruise film from a screenplay the Benay brothers had allegedly submitted to Bedford Falls. Zwick and Herskovitz, longtime collaborators behind films like “Traffic” and “Blood Diamond” and television shows like “Thirtysomething” and “My So-Called Life,” denied using the Benays’ screenplay in writing and producing their film. They asserted that the evidence showed their project was the product of an intense collaboration with “Gladiator” writer John Logan. While the claims of copyright infringement and breach of implied contract were tossed in 2008, two years later, the Ninth Circuit reversed the dismissal of the breach-of-implied- contract claim while affirming the dismissal of the copyright claim. Gans came to the conclusion that the central theme of the movie — honor — was one of the pathways to his clients’ vindication. “The key to this case from my viewpoint was that the movie was largely about honor,” Gans told Law360. “We tried to channel that theme and the emotion of the movie so that they would be associated not only with the movie, but also with our clients in the courtroom as honorable people — which they are — and to show that they had no need or desire to steal someone else's ideas.” What was fundamental to that line of reasoning was to avoid falling into the trap of being labeled the Hollywood establishment types against the young and aspiring writers.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan May 21, 2013 [email protected] | 212-609-5955 Available from TCG Books: I’ll Eat You Last and Peter and Alice by John Logan NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the availability of two new plays by John Logan: I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers and Peter and Alice, both published by Oberon Books (London). The three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter of such films as Skyfall and Hugo returns with two new plays on Broadway and in London’s West End, respectively. I’ll Eat You Last is a one-woman show about legendary Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers, whose clients included Barbra Streisand, Cher, Gene Hackman and Mike Nichols. Currently on Broadway, starring Bette Midler, I’ll Eat You Last is nominated for the 2013 Drama League awards for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play. Based on the real individuals that inspired J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Peter and Alice tells the story of when Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932. Currently playing to acclaim in the West End, Judi Dench stars as Alice and Ben Whishaw as Peter in this new play where enchantment and reality collide. “A delectable soufflé of a solo show… It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan… Tangy and funny.” — New York Times on I’ll Eat You Last “A haunting play that sounds profound notes of loss and grief..

Publication Date 2015 DOI 10.21977/D911122357 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Education through Movies: Improving teaching skills and fostering reflection among students and teachers. Movies are not entertainment. They are a kind of language and reflection. Peter Greenaway. Arts and Emotions to Promote Reflection In life, people learn important attitudes, values, and beliefs using role modeling, a process that impacts the learner’s emotions(1). Certain types of learning have more to do with the affection and love teachers invest in educating people than with theoretical reasoning (2). Usually feelings arise before concepts in the learners. Understanding emotionally through intuition comes in advance. First the heart becomes involved, then rational process clarify the learning issue. Thus the affective path is a critical way to the rational process of learning. While technical knowledge and skills can be acquired through training with little reflection, refining attitudes, acquiring virtues and incorporating values require reflection. In addition to the specific knowledge students must master, learners must refine attitudes, construct identities, develop well- rounded qualities and enrich themselves as human beings. Because people’s emotions play key roles in learning attitudes and behavior, teachers cannot afford to ignore students’ affective domains. To educate through emotions doesn’t mean that learning is limited to values and attitudes exclusively in the affective domain.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.
