Real Life Star Of 'The Hurt Locker' Trial Goes Ahead, Opening Door For Others.


After reports this week that a US bomb disposal expert has been given the go-ahead to sue the makers of hit Academy Award winning film 'The Hurt Locker', due to his 'likeness' being stolen for use as the lead role in the film, other people are lining up to pursue a similar undertaking.

Daniel Rathbone, 67, a retired cab driver from New York, is set to sue Martin Scorcese, as he claims he worked for 42 years as a 'Taxi Driver' and therefore lays claim to profits made from the film about his life.

Although he admits to never stalking a presidential campaigner, nor was he a Vietnam war veteran, he did drive a distinctive yellow cab during the night, so the film bares a remarkable resemblance to the story of his life.
