Josh Hutcherson says ‘everyone borrows from everyone’ after Quentin Tarantino’s comment about ‘The Hunger Games’ – ‘Battle Royale’ comment goes viral

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino sparked debate by claiming ‘The Hunger Games’ plagiarized ‘Battle Royale’. Lead actor Josh Hutcherson acknowledged thematic similarities but dismissed the ‘rip-off’ accusation, stating, ‘everyone borrows from everyone.’ Author Suzanne Collins previously clarified she was unaware of ‘Battle Royale’ when writing her novel, following her agent’s advice to avoid external influences.
