Woman Sues Over Misleading Movie Trailer; Wants To Make It A Class Action

Failures

from the our-litigious-society dept

Tue, Oct 11th 2011 12:29pm — Mike Masnick

Sure, we've all noted that various movie trailers may not be representative of the movie, but is that an illegal bait-and-switch? Sarah Deming apparently believes so, and somehow found a lawyer willing to sue over this awful deception (thanks to Will for sending this in). Her specific complaint? She expected the recently released movie Drive to be much more like The Fast and the Furious based on the trailer. You can see the trailer below: The lawsuit claimed that the producers and movie theater "promoted the film Drive as very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies." And yet... "Drive bore very little similarity to a chase or race action film... having very little driving in the motion picture." She's arguing that this violates Michigan's consumer protection laws.

Oh, and to make it even better, she apparently would like to turn the whole thing into a class action lawsuit, so in case you, too, felt ripped off... This whole thing is so ridiculous, you almost wonder if it isn't a bad viral marketing campaign for Drive.

I saw the movie last week and it was nothing like I expected from the description or preview. But I usually go to movies for mindless entertainment and it met that criteria so I guess I will abstain from the class action suit after all.

  Re: Count me in
  I thought it was a fairly accurate trailer. It certainly set the mood heavy, and not light-hearted (like fast and furious). I do think all of the driving of the entire movie was in the trailer though.
  
  I'm somewhat amused, because my friend that recommended it to me said "don't watch the trailer, it's the whole movie", and this woman thinks it's deceptive.
  
  It's pretty clear from the trailer it's going to be violent and have some serious ass-kicking.

Typical
So, every action sequence and plot point they put into the trailer, and the rest of the movie is "filler".

I can sympathize with the gal, but she should know better. If she'd downloaded the movie first she could see if it was any good--and then go to the theatre if it seemed like an awesome movie.

Well, that or like check Twitter for what people are saying.

In the UK
everything you buy must be 'fit for purpose' or you're entitled a full refund. That typically applies to tangible goods though and has yet to be extended to movies, music etc.

I'm all for getting a refund on a shitty movie, especially if the trailer misled me.

  Re: In the UK
  I'm yet to see an argument that a trailer can make a movie not "fit for purpose", though god knows I've been misled many times into watching crappy movies! That would be a very broad interpretation, though it's no secret that having been burned so many times is the incentive for many to pirate.
  
  I hope this sort of thing isn't going to become commonplace, however. The whole problem with misleading trailers/posters is generally a problem with marketing departments trying to force movies into pre-determined boxes rather than coming up with something creative. I've already seen too many movies get buried at the box office because the marketing drones didn't know what to do. I don't need to see more incentives to only invest in cookie cutter crap, thank you very much. If you want to see them "up their game", the last thing you want is for them to stop making anything their marketers can't handle.
  
  I know a number of people who think that Drive was excellent, but the crowd I talk to tend to be the ones who watched it because they said "oooh, a new Nicolas Winding Refn film", not "oooh, it looks like Fast And Furious 27".

  Im pretty sure the only way this would fly in UK court is if once you got into the movie, you realized that it wasn't actually a movie. Im pretty sure Genre isn't important in this connotation, only if it qualifies as what you paid for (a seat, to watch a movie).

I realize that most trailers are deceptive. But the only time I was ever "tricked" was in going to see Will Ferrell's semi-recent Land of the Lost. I had assumed it was a kids' movie. It was not. The PG13 rating should have been a clue if I had paid any attention.

Abduction
Just went to the theater to see Abduction. In the trailer they make it look like the lead character is being shot at while sliding down some angled window panes. This did not happen in the movie. Is that a failure to advertise the movie correctly? I remember renting a video and on the cover you had a girl running away from a helicopter, there was no helicopter in the movie. Where does this become illegal as it has been happening for years. Yes i now check out a movie before going to the cinema to pay to watch it. :D

That reminds me of the trailer for "The bridges to Terabithia" that had all the CGI scenes of the whole movie cramped into the 2-minute trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SvqEIKP4t8), making it feel like a Narnia movie (at the same time the Narnia movies were making it big at the box office).
So I never felt so cheated and stabbed in the back going to a movie after seeing the trailer when I realized it was far from the truth, that there was very few CGI (all of which I saw in the trailer) and adventure entertainment compared to Narnia, and that it was in fact a sad dramatic movie.
IMDB lists it as Adventure/Drama/Family, while I agree with Drama and Family, I don't see how it can be listed as Adventure.

The trailer being so misleading, I would love to this this class action lawsuit gain some traction and set the movie studios straight.

  So they fooled you into going and fooled me into not going. Funny old world.

  That was a bad one. Very deceptive. But the movie was pretty good. We liked it, even though it was very very sad.
  
  And remember that trailer for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events which made the movie seem like it was a Harry Potter type of movie? That also should have resulted in a lawsuit.

I remember the Highlander movie that differed significantly from the trailer. There were scenes in the trailer that didn't make it into the movie for whatever reason and I was pissed. Same holds true for music. If it's not in the movie then why have it in the trailer.

Lastly, I saw Lake Placid in a movie theater many years ago. The film burned out just as the old lady was walking towards the shore, at the end of the movie. There weren't many people in the theater at that showing and when I told the manager he just said 'yeah sometimes that happens.' I didn't ask for my money back but a free pass or discount would have been nice.

So as ridiculous as this lady looks for suing the studio I am 100% behind her.

To me it's like fast food places that show one thing in their advertisements but serve you something else.

  Re:

  It doesn't mean much as an audience member, but the reason is that trailers are often cut well before the movie is finished (some movies are only finished a few days before release).
  
  So, since the final cut hadn't been made, the people cutting the trailer don't know exactly what will be in it. The score might not have been written yet, and effects might not be complete. It's not necessarily deliberately misleading, but I can understand how it's annoying.
  
  It would be better, of course, if the studios waited till they had a final product before they tried selling it, but that's not how Hollywood works...

    Re: Re:
    The point is, that's really how it should work.
    
    To put it bluntly, false advertising is false advertising -- period.
    
    The fact that America pretty much lets ANY claims in advertising go unchecked (anyone else seen that horrid "I researched high fructose corn syrup . . . and now I've got one less thing to worry about" ad where they specifically imply there are no health risks associated with HFCS?) doesn't change the fact that a merchant of any tangible or intangible good should ensure that the service they represent is similar to the service they render.
    
    Now I'm not saying that ambiguous or "obscure" movie previews are a problem -- I have personally enjoyed several movie preview campaigns where the actual premise (or setting) of the movie is completely unclear until one actually goes to see it . . . but in those cases, it's obvious that the previews are just to tantalise interest -- in the cases where one cultivates a specific impression about a movie, that impression should be accurate.

Of course trailers are misleading. How often do they come right out and say, "this movie sucks, I mean, really. It sounded nice at the pitch meeting, but, turns out, it sucks. Save your money."

Never, and we don't expect them too, either. That's why we read reviews or wait for a friend to see it first. Cripes, suing for a poorly spent twelve bucks?

Movie advertising
Back some time ago, my job was preparing ads for newspapers. We'd get the raw material, photos, copy, etc. and I'd arrange it to fit different sized ad space.

I'd see a movie come down, promoted as a romance. Then, a month later, it would be slanted as a comedy, then an adventure flick.

Same movie, just trying to find a way to get people to show up.

No, the ads have nothing to do with the actual movie. Is there anyone out there who doesn't know this by now?

Here's the thing: chances are she probably doesn't even believe what she's saying or really gives a damn about whether the trailer accurately represents the contents of the movie. Ultimately it's all about the money.

If you haven't read the details of modern class action lawsuits here's the bottom line: some group of lawyers makes bank (several million), a single individual who "represents" the class gets some money (a few thousand to tens of thousands), and the class itself gets some BS that's not even worth real money (voucher for services worth less than $100 each).

I had a similar feeling after watching Skyline. Wow! Whoever edited that trailer should get a medal or something, then smacked along side the head. That movie was a giant pile of turds, but the trailer looked interesting.

I do know that sometimes a deleted scene will be used on the trailer. (and by sometimes I mean often)

Another good misrepresentation of a movie would be Executive Decision, with Kurt Russell and Steven Segal. They made it sound like Segal was the star, when if fact he had a very small role.

I could be behind her if
the suit is about misrepresentation based on sequences in the trailer that aren't actually in the movie. I understand the the goal of the trailer is to cause intrigue in people which will lead to them seeing it. What they think of the whole movie doesn't matter much, as they have already paid their money, and the trailer can't be held responsible for the quality of the movie, as that is pretty subjective. But as for content, if it's in the trailer it should be in the movie, elsewise I can honestly see how it's false advertising.

  Re: I could be behind her if
  There are a million ways, between cutting, clipping, voice-over, and so-on, to create the impression that a movie is very different from its actual nature.
  
  The obvious example is taking all two minutes of action scenes in a movie and remixing them together into the preview - causing any reasonable person to mistake a historical drama with one bar-fight for some kind of action flick.
  
  Even worse are things like Bridge to Terabithia, where they took all the animated sequences and show those exclusively; anyone who hadn't read the book would be entirely justified in expecting a whimsical animated fantasy movie when it's . . not.

Most movies throughout the "low" movie months pack their trailers full of action, jokes, frights (what ever the genre is) in order to get as many people through the door and sitting in the cinemas.

She may have a point, but to actually sue and try to make a class action suit out of this is a joke.
