I came across the trailer for this movie and it looks interesting. It's an independent horror film set in Disney World and shot on location without authorization from Disney. Their website has a counter showing the time since it's been released that they haven't been sued.

It was shown at Sundance and looks like it's had a limited release. Has anyone been able to see this yet?

If this is true, which I am very skeptical of, they will eventually get sued and lose all of their money and rights to this film to Disney.

What's the end game then? Get acclaim and attention to help start their career's?

If so, this will work out really well for them.

I've heard interviews with the actors and how they were sneaking shots. Supposedly there's a reason Disney isn't suing but I can't recall why. Something along the lines of it not showing Disney in a bad light.



Spoiler I guess







It's not Disney driving the guy crazy he just happens to be at Disney. But I could be wrong it was months ago I heard it.

I've also heard that it's an interesting idea but that it doesn't work.

From Wiki:
quote:

Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu does not think Disney would have any defensible intellectual property claim. "Though the filmmakers may have committed trespass when they broke Disney World's rules and if it violated the terms of entry on their tickets, the film itself is a different matter," he wrote on The New Yorker's blog. "As commentary on the social ideals of Disney World, it seems to clearly fall within a well-recognized category of fair use, and therefore probably will not be stopped by a court using copyright or trademark laws."

Despite the film's repeated use of Disney's characters and iconography, Wu explained, trademark law was not sufficient. "Disney does not have some kind of general intellectual-property right in Disney World itself." To make a trademark-infringement case against Moore, he continued, Disney would have to convince a court that the use of its protected imagery in the movie could reasonably lead viewers to believe that it had a role in the film's production, and he did not think that was a plausible argument.
