Wow. I don't know how they thought they could get away with that.

That's pretty crazy. Just watching some of video comparisons it's obvious Secret Admirer was used as a basis for this Puerto Rican film. It seems like this has created a big uproar causing the film to be pulled and actors distancing themselves from it. I still think the situation is fixable.

Why not give Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt proper writing credits and a share of the profits from the any money the movie makes. Movies get remade all the time so this wouldnt be too much different. If you visit the imdb page for Vasos De Papel it does now list Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt as writers. I don't know if this is official but that is a start.
