Draft:Sophia Stewart

  • Comment: Subject doesn't seem notable beyond the lawsuits of terminator and matrix, and nothing is mentioned of her biography. The tone is far from neutral, inproper of an encyclopedic article. Sources are lacking as well, three just aren't enough, specially for the claims that are presented in this draft. Please provide more context and support the existing info with more substantial, reliable and independent sources. NeoGaze (talk) 09:53, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Sophia Stewart is a talented writer who was known for her lawsuit against the makers of Terminator and the Wachowski brothers franchise The Matrix. As their ideas were coined from her book known as The Third Eye. Before Terminator, James Cameron was a horror movie director and needed a big break. He Had just directed Piranha II which was a mega failure in the box office back then and when Susan Merzback, Vice President of Creative Affairs at 20th Century Fox at the time told the story to James Cameron[1], he had to jump on it. This wasn't Cameron's first rodeo as he was also sued by the creator of Outer Limits[2] for copyright infringement also. These franchises combined are worth over 10 billion dollars and Sophia hadn't received a single cent, that is until 2014 when on September 25th of 2014 the Federal Court of Utah awarded her $305,235.62 in attorney fees[3] as the lawyer failed to represent, but did not win the $2.5 billion ‘Matrix’ lawsuit. To this day she still has not received justice for the malpractice done against her.
