That is really not so big a thing. You can't keep people from making movies about lions and the product they turned out was bigger than anything before.

Getting your idea from something is not plagiarism. Not by a long shot.

If there is a script you can just check for copied and paraphrased sections. If you have two movies, parallels are easy to show. Proving they worked from your pitch years later? Maybe if they had done the movie three years earlier so they would have to go into production with his pitch. Why would they wait for another guy to have pitches and then warp his idea into yours, or something similar?
