ABC is getting sued over the TV series Lost, with Anthony Spinner (the producer of multiple TV series, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) claiming that it was stolen from him.
Spinner recounts the similarities between the TV series and his idea, also titled Lost, stating that his series also included a plane from Los Angeles crashing into an uncharted island. His series involved both a doctor and a man from the military - which could be the basis for the characters Jack and Sayid, respectively.
Spinner offered the project to ABC multiple times, including 1977, 1991, and 1994, but was rejected everytime. He is now sueing for a cut of royalties, though no other details are known.
