Attornies for novelist Barbara Chase-Riboud filed a $10,000,000 suit against the makers of "Amistad" in an attempt to block its release. They claimed that the filmmakers plagiarized her work "Echo of Lions." The suit was subsequently dropped after DreamWorks suggested that "Echo of Lions" actually plagiarized sections of the book "Black Mutiny."
Screenwriter David Franzoni was previously hired by Dustin Hoffman's Punch Productions to adapt Barbara Chase-Riboud's "Echo of Lions" for a film that was to star Dustin Hoffman as John Quincy Adams and to be directed by Barry Levinson.
