VIDEO : 'Stranger Things' Creators Fight Plagiarism Accusations

Earlier this week, news surfaced that the creators of Stranger Things, Ross and Matt Duffer, had been targeted by a lawsuit claiming they stole the idea of their series from filmmaker Charlie Kessler's short film Montauk. The brothers' attorney has responded to the lawsuit, claiming Kessler's legal action is "just an attempt to profit" from the show's success. ?Mr. Kessler?s claim is completely meritless,? Alex Kohner, attorney for the Duffers, shared with Deadline.
