James Cameron is not a script-stealing thief … and does NOT have to pay billions of dollars from “Avatar” profits … because he just won a HUGE lawsuit, TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story … science fiction writer Bryant Moore sued Cameron for $2.5 billion back in 2011 — claiming he had come up with the basic premise behind “Avatar” … and Cameron jacked it.
Now, according to court docs a federal judge just shut down Moore’s suit … saying the plots of his projects were “palpably different” from “Avatar.”
The judge also said the similarities that do exist — sci-fi with a love story — are too vague to be protected.
Bottom line … Moore isn’t getting his hands on any of the $2.78 billion “Avatar” made worldwide.
