Best Reviewed Film Of The Year ‘Drive’ Lands Lawsuit For Misleading Trailer
Ryan Gosling, star of the slow-burn thriller “Drive,” which movie-goers and film critics have dubbed on of this years best films has landed a lawsuit.
However, one movie-goer named Sarah Deming, a Michigan woman, has filed a lawsuit with the film’s distributors, FilmDistrict, claiming they “promoted the film ‘Drive‘ as very similar to the ‘Fast and Furious.’
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Deming is seeking a refund for her movie ticket, in addition to halting the production of “misleading movie trailers” in the future. The plaintiff intends to turn her individual case into a class action lawsuit, thereby allowing fellow movie-goers an opportunity to share in the settlement.
But Deming isn’t just upset that she didn’t get the movie she was expecting. According to her there is much more wrong with Drive.
Deming claims in the suit:
“Extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith.”
Personally, I think this is the most ridiculous lawsuit against Drive, but it seems these days people like Sarah Deming will sue for anything to make a quick buck.
However, Richard Brody with The New Yorker wrote, if someone can sue “Drive” for a misleading trailer, there are sure to be many law suits in the future.
What do you think of this lawsuit?
Stupid or justified?
