Alcon Entertainment, the producers of Blade Runner 2049, sue Elon Musk for copyright infringement

Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford star in the film Blade Runner 2049, produced by Alcon Entertainment. The production company officials have filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, Tesla, and Warner Bros. Discovery for copyright infringement. They claim that scenes similar to those from the movie were used without permission in the unveiling of Tesla's self-driving Robotaxi on October 10th. Alcon Entertainment representatives stated that they rejected Musk's request to use scenes from the film due to his behavior and now take legal action against him. Additionally, they mentioned ongoing discussions with other automotive brands for a partnership related to the Blade Runner 2099 television series, which they do not want to jeopardize. Warner Bros. Discovery, the host of the Robotaxi event, distributed both Blade Runner films, including Blade Runner 2049 released in 2017, a sequel to the original 1982 Blade Runner movie.
