Angelina Jolie wins in In the Land of Blood and Honey copyright issue

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has won the court case that claims Croatian journalist James Braddock’s work was taken by Angelina to create her directorial debut,In the Land of Blood and Honey. But the District Judge of USA, Dolly Gee issued a writing, which stated that she didn't find considerable similarities between the flick that Jolie directed and the book Slamanje Duse by James Braddock, who filed the suit. Braddock's bookSlamanje Dusewas published in 2007 and the shorter version in English was released under the title,The Soul Shattering.

“AlthoughBlood and Honeyis also a story of love, it highlights the complications of romantic love during wartime" between its protagonists -- a Muslim artist and a Serbian military soldier. When analyzing the plot and sequence of both works, Gee noted some of the similarities including the fact that both include escape sequences and brutal rape scenes. But that's not enough,” said Gee.

Braddock has been ordered to let the court know on why his plea should be considered.
