  • From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

    Caspian Tredwell-Owen is an American screenwriter. He wrote a screenplay that, after being read by Steven Spielberg, was purchased by DreamWorks for $1,000,000. The screenplay was re-written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and became the 2005 film The Island. Whether or not Tredwell-Owen actually wrote this script, however, is a matter of some dispute. A lawsuit, filed in New York by Robert Fiveson, writer/director of the B classic The Clonus Horror,  suggested that Tredwell-Owen’s script was in fact lifted from Fiveson’s sci-fi film, released in 1979. Further, The Island script was strikingly similar to a screenplay previously submitted to Spider-Man producer Avi Arad –Spider-Man producing partner of Ian Bryce, who later produced The Island–entitled Astrocorp, written by screenwriter Luke Shanahan and psychiatrist Dr. Michael Alan Schwartz.

    In addition to his The Island credit, Tredwell-Owen is the screenwriter of record of the universally panned Beyond Borders, which Variety’s Todd Mccarthy called “high-minded claptrap” and New York Times reviewer Elvis Mitchell likened to “watching someone trying to dry his hands with sandpaper.”
