Screenwriter David Hemingson is the sole credited writer on The Holdovers.
LOS ANGELES – A British writer has accused the team behind The Holdovers, Alexander Payne’s 1970s-era boarding school drama that is up for an Oscar for best original screenplay, of plagiarising his unproduced work, Variety reported.
Stephenson said his screenplay Frisco focused on a world-weary doctor and a 15-year-old patient he is forced to look after. The Holdovers centers on a persnickety teacher, a cook and a teenage student stuck on campus for the holidays. Payne and The Holdovers screenwriter David Hemingson – who could win an Oscar on Sunday night – declined comment, Variety said.
