Woman plans to sue FilmDistrict over ‘Drive’ trailers

Have you ever been duped into seeing a bad movie? You probably just went home to rant to friends and family about it, but a woman from Detroit wants to take this issue to court, reported Moviefone.com.

According to WDIV’s Ron Meloni, Sarah Deming of Detroit, Mich. has filed a lawsuit against FilmDistrict. She claims that the studio mislead her with its marketing campaign for Drive and wants her ticket refunded with the end of misleading movie trailers. The suits states:

“The Studio Promoted the film Drive 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.”

Deming went in her claim that movie possessed an anti-Semitic tone throughout the film.

“Drive was a motion picture that substantially contained extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith.”

To make matters even more stranger, she will make her individual lawsuit to a class action lawsuit. In the result of doing this, it will allow others to join in.

Drive earned mixed reviews throughout its opening week. The film got a C minus grade on CinemaScore, but an A minus from rottentomatoes.com critics.
