U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins rebuffed a move by Barbara Chase- Riboud to stop the film’s premiere Wednesday in New York and Los An geles and its opening on Friday in the nation’s 50 biggest markets. But the judge said Chase-Riboud can press ahead with her lawsuit and try to prove at a trial her claim that much oftheAmistodscreenplay was stolen from her historical novel Echo of Lions. “The judge said there was no reasonable likeliness of success on the merits of the case,” Bert Fields, an attorney for Spielberg and his DreamWorks studio, said. “She took apart their claims of similari ties and said these things appear to come from history.” Chase-Riboud said she was dis appointed but was confident she would prevail at trial, which has not yet been scheduled. “A preliminary injunction is the only protection a poor person has against a rich infringer,” she said outside court. “I’m doing this for all writers.” The dispute has turned increas ingly personal and vitriolic. “What an irony that the renowned filmmaker who produced and directed The Color Purple would be a party to denying a prominent black American of letters and the arts her rightful recognition for rais ing public consciousness about slav ery,” Chase-Riboud’s lawyers said in court papers.
