Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Not original, and no credit given to those they stole from.
Up front, I have to admit to not watching this yet, but the plot is so obviously a Seven Samurai clone that the producers should be sued for not including Akira Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto, and Hideo Oguni in the writing credits.
Hmmm...seems that wasn't long enough to post as is, so I'm just gonna riff here a bit...there have been a number of good films that have followed The Seven Samurai plot, and most have been honest enough to include writing credits for those that wrote The Seven Samurai that the producers of Rebel Moon should be ashamed (and punished in some manner) for ripping them off.
Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles (2022)
Criminal
When it says "based on the comic book Usagi Yojimbo" they really mean that they took only the basic concept of a "samurai rabbit", and *no other part* of the story! What a wasted opportunity, and now there likely will never be a production that does the original story right, though it fully deserves to be.
