We’ve all seen bad movie trailers during our trips to the cinema.
There’s the ones that reveal the whole movie plot in 60 seconds (completely eliminating any need to see the actual film).
And there’s those that employ the same deep voice-over guy which start with the same phrase “In a world where… (add your sentence here)”
Now there’s a movie trailer that is so bad, someone is suing the distributor of the film and the cinema where it was shown.
Sara Deming of Michigan was so annoyed with the trailer of the new Ryan Gosling Thriller “Drive”, she decided to act.
She says the trailer suggests “Drive” is a Fast and Furious style action piece. Deming thought the actual film was rather different.
“(the trailer)bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film … having very little driving in the motion picture”.
Ms Deming’s suit also takes the filmmakers to task over what she suggests are anti-semitic messages in the movie which:
“substantially contained extreme, gratuitous, dehumanising racism directed at members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith”
Deming is hoping her class action suit against the distributors will stop the scourge of misleading movie trailers.
Have you ever seen a movie trailer that made you want to sue someone?
