In 2011 there was a French film called Starbuck. The story line is a 40 something slacker's life is turned upside down when he learns that his many sperm donations have resulted in more than 500 children--100 of whom are now suing to meet their father, who is desperate to keep his identity a secret. The movie stars Patrick Huard, Julie LeBreten and Antonio Bertard. The movie only played two weeks at Shirlington but I got it on DVD. I was shocked to see a preview today of a movie call "Delivery Man" which has the exact same plot. This movie stars Vince Vaughn and is set in the USA and not France but the script is exactly the same. Delivery Man opens November 2013. The French version was very good. The mystery is what hanky panky is going on in Hollywood? It can't even be considered a remake because of the quick time lapse. If I was the French film maker and cast, I would take legal actions.
