When Sophia Stewart (aka Zenia Kavala) went to see the movie, "The Matrix", in 1999, she discovered what she considered plagiarism.
In subsequent legal action, Stewart alleged that the movies "The Matrix" (I, II, and III) and "The Terminator" borrowed from her own life and work, particularly her 1981 work, "The Third Eye".
Those movies were produced by Warner Brothers, part of the mega-media conglomerate AOL-Time Warner.
Apparently Stewart is a gifted visionary, adept at mathematics and possessing a knowledge of history derived from spiritual revelation. She claims to be a practitioner of astral projection. You can read some of her own remarks here.
Looks like Stewart may be starting to get some justice. Reports are just out that she won a legal case. You can read details here. Similar reporting, but with link to interview with Stewart, is here.
We might need to reserve judgment on the truthfulness of these reports, however, as there is already a history of similar reports in the category of "urban legend".
Indeed, an article on Wikipedia claims that her lawsuit was dismissed in June 2005. Was another claim introduced since then, with positive results only now? As always, we must get independent verification. I'm sure this will all become clear in the days ahead!
