This came to light after watching the trailer
After watching the trailer, Beck noticed several things that resembled his artwork. He said, “If you’re not an artist, you wouldn’t know about it. You can’t see these things right away, but I’ve talked about it with my artist friends and people in the community and everyone agrees that there are a lot of similarities between the two works of art.” He said that the film’s color palette matches to a large extent. His According to me, it is a great coincidence that I was approached for this job, so he knows my portfolio and has seen my work.
Talking about legal action, he said it could be difficult as his artworks are not copied directly. According to Beck, no artist can do anything in such cases. He said that imposing a copyright strike on YouTube could draw everyone’s attention to the matter, but apart from this there is not much an artist can do.
