Pshaw.

From Deadline:

When it was announced, Quean, written by The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken, sounded like a typical CBS procedural: It centers on an edgy and independent Millennial hacker girl who teams up with an Oakland police detective to solve crimes. The pilot secured Jaume Collet-Serra as director and was moving to the casting stage when Warner Bros. TV received a letter from Sony Pictures threatening a lawsuit over alleged similarities to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which Sony has the rights to and is adapting as a movie trilogy. (The first movie, directed by David Fincher, was released last year; the other two have been greenlighted).

As I just said on Twitter—albeit more briefly—it's not like Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was, like, totally original. Carol O'Connell's Kathy Mallory series—which began in 1994—is about a female hacker with some serious social issues (borderline sociopath) and a dark, troubled history, who uses her skillz to solve mysteries.

So... yeah.
