Drafting scenarios The Hurt Locker, Mark Boal via Los Angeles Times, Tuesday (2/03/2010), claimed to have talked with over a hundred soldiers during his film study.
"And to change things as I have learned, but also create a dramatic story," he said.
But the confession was denied by attorney Geoffrey Fieger, the name sergeant U.S. Army (USA), Jeffrey S. Sergeant Chief Sarver (38) on Wednesday (03/03/2010), who felt betrayed because her story was stolen by filmmakers The Hurt Locker.
"Boal says he interviewed hundreds of soldiers and said the film's story is a mixture of various bomb squad. That adsurd because really he just spoke with Sarver," he said.
Jeffrey S. Sarver himself lived in New Jersey before moving to Clarksville, Tennesess, USA. He has served for 18 years in the U.S. Army, and years of duty in Iraq.
Sarver filed a lawsuit because the film makers permission to use his experience defuse the bomb while in Iraq.
Sarver said in a press conference, would be 'happy' (happy, red) if a consultant to author the script, Mark Boal, and director Kathryn Bigelow. But it never happened. "I feel more or less abandoned," said Sarver. "I do not know my rights," he added.
Once Sarver filed a lawsuit on Thursday, Summit Entertainment film distributors, issued a statement, confirmed that the film is just a fictional story about the soldiers on the battlefield.
Sarver himself once appeared in Playboy magazine in 2005 through an article entitled The figure in U.S. Apparel. Where the article was written by Boal, author of The Hurt Locker screenplay, based on his observations as a reporter 'emmbedded' with a group led Sarver bomb squad in Iraq in 2004.
Geoffrey Fieger said the main character in the movie, Will James, very clearly illustrates his client, referring to the password Blaster One. "If someone told you that the sergeant Sarver is not Will James, was a question that is funny," said Fieger.
The Hurt Locker has been nominated for nine Oscars. This film has received much praise from critics and a leading candidate for best picture Academy Award that will be awarded on Sunday.
Fieger declined to mention the amount of money in the lawsuit. He said Summit Entertainment, the U.S. distributor for the producer The Hurt Locker and the film will not be sued, if only they put that story was based on experiences in Iraq Sarver.
"This is a common practice," said Fieger. "Now, having been caught, we see things they do not have to pay for mistakes."
The Hurt Locker was released in June and received a gross profit of U.S. $ 19 million from around the world. While making budget of about U.S. $ 15 million.
Fieger said had been communicating for months with Summit Entertainment and producer Nicholas Chartier.
To reporters, he distributed copies of an email late December of Chartier who called had never heard of Sarver.
"I have never done is not fair to him. I have never heard of him. ... Did I steal his girlfriend? Never heard it," the email.
Another email on this week Chartier who cause problems for big profits from the film. Chartier, the Academy Award for breaking the rules, send email to Oscar voters to ask them to choose The Hurt Locker which he described as a film costing U.S. $ 500 million '.
Chartier prohibited from attending the awards ceremony to be held this weekend. But through a spokesman, declined comment.
