Good news for Will Smith! The actor has officially been cleared of a $1.7 million copyright infringement lawsuit related to his 2019 action thriller, 'Gemini Man.' The suit, filed by Clayon Pinkney Jr., alleged that the film's plot ripped off his screenplay, 'Double Life.'

The judge, however, ruled in favor of Smith and the other defendants, stating that there was no substantial similarity between the two works. Pinkney's claims of copyright violation were ultimately deemed unfounded, saving Smith and the production team from a potentially costly legal battle. While copyright lawsuits are common in Hollywood, this ruling demonstrates the importance of proving significant and undeniable overlap between the allegedly infringing work and the original material. For Will Smith and the 'Gemini Man' team, it's a clear victory and allows them to put this legal drama firmly in the past.
