Ryan Gosling’s new film Drive is taking a bit of a battering, with the studio being sued for producing a trailer that doesn’t accurately reflect the film. Sarah Deming, a woman who more than likely lives with her 14 cats, is suing the film’s distributor, FilmDistrict, alleging that the trailer promotes the film as “very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies. Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film… having very little driving in the motion picture.”
So rather than being sued for plagiarism, the film is being sued for not being like every other piece of Vin Diesel action-crapped blockbuster out at the multiplex. With Driver having grossed over $55 million worldwide, she’s looking for a decent settlement, with her legal eagles announcing she wants her $9 ticket refunded. I wish I was making this up.
Sarah Deming isn’t the only loon that this film seems to have resonated with. Brandon Kelly of California, who may not live with 14 cats but more than likely talks to Elvis, was equally as moved by Ryan Gosling’s performance.
“I was inspired by the movie Drive. As soon as the film ended, I thought to myself, I have to do something courageous and epic’.”
So he threw a hot dog at Tiger Woods. Yep, just pitched a hot dog onto the green while Tiger Woods was trying to putt. Then lay down on the ground with his hands behind his head and waited to be arrested.
If only John Lennon had been so lucky.
