My goal is to create a fan-fiction series based on the popular movie "The Matrix", but I'm worried about copyright infringement. How can I create a derivative work based on a copyrighted movie without getting permission from the original creator?

Although it is generally not advisable to create a derivative work based on a copyrighted movie without permission from the original creator, it may be possible to do so under certain conditions. Copyright law allows for the creation of derivatives works that explore the themes, settings and characters of a copyrighted work without explicit permission from the rights holder. This concept is known as Fair Use and can apply to fan-fictions as long as they are clearly labeled as derivative works and do not generate any profits for their creators.

Creating a fan-fiction series based on The Matrix without permission from the original creator is an infringement of copyright. Even though there is currently no regulation against fan-fiction in regards to copyright, it is still technically illegal and one might risk facing legal charges if they don't receive permission beforehand. Thus, it is advisable to contact the copyright holder before using any elements or characters from their work.
