Netflix’s Seine-set Shark thriller Under Paris could be taken off the platform within days of its release on June 5 due to legal proceedings brought by a writer-director who claims it was developed without his knowledge from an original idea he registered with France’s rights management body Sacd in 2011.
An initial hearing on June 14 will pass judgement on a legal request by the complainant’s lawyer for the film’s release to be suspended while a second lawsuit around accusations of parasitism makes its way through the courts.
Taking its cue from article 1240 of France’s Civil Code, parasitism is defined as one party following in the footsteps of another party’s efforts and know-how to benefit from their enterprise without seeking permission or making payment.

"It will be carnage." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a horror thriller shark movie called Under Paris, about a shark literally chomping its way through the rivers and sewers of the French capital city. The French title is Sous la Seine, translating directly to Under the Seine. Sophia, a brilliant scientist comes to know that a large shark is swimming deep in the river Seine. In order to save Paris from an international bloodbath, a grieving scientist is forced to face her tragic past when a giant shark appears in the Seine and starts tormenting the city's inhabitants. Under Paris stars Bérénice Bejo, Nassim Lyes, Léa Léviant, and Iñaki Lartigue. This is such a hilariously cheesy plot with the triathlon swimmers all getting taken out and the Jaws-inspired mayor who refuses to do anything or stop anything. It's pretty much a B-movie with a Netflix budget. I have to admit,...
