Chinese firm files 'Transformers' lawsuit

Oh, and let's throw in a year's supply of "safe" Happy Meals, too.

The only thing in common between the two news stories is that they happened in China. While you were at it, why didn't you throw in a reference to the Nanjing Massacre as well?

It is asking Paramount Pictures and an associated Chinese company to pay more than 20 million yuan ($3.2 million) in compensation, the state-run China Daily reported.

I think Paramount can afford it. It has taken in about $1 Billion worldwide.

Welcome to doing business in China.

The discrimination by commenters in this thread is astounding. If this same story had happened in any other country, the country would not be mentioned or even be an issue.

Meh. Let them file suit. If they can prove there was an agreement, fine. If not, no drama.

Still, could be a marketing ploy for the park.

I think it would be a clear cut case. It's whether it was written within the contract or not. If it was Paramount is at fault. If it wasn't then it's Chongqing Wulong Karst Tourism Group fault but with this kind of PR they are getting they are out for nothing.

Just reinforces my impression that these awful Transformers movies are seen as nothing more than commercials.

Not at all. China is the only country that actively influences Hollywood to ensure that the "image" of China and Chinese is "correct". China courts are also all heavily influenced by the State, which also dictates which movies can be shown in China and applies censorship as and when it feels needed. Don't put China is the same category as other countries.

"Around the time MGM first delayed the release of Red Dawn, a Chinese newspaper called the Global Times expressed concerns that the film would demonize their state and its citizens" http://screenrant.com/red-dawn-villains-china-north-korea-schrad-106177/

" China has censored part of the latest installment of hit Hollywood movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" for "vilifying and defacing the Chinese", the official Xinhua news agency said on Friday. The role of Hong Kong star Chow Yun-Fat, who plays pirate lord Captain Sao Feng, had been slashed in half to just about 10 minutes of screen time, the report said." http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/06/15/us-china-entertainment-pirates-idUSPEK19683420070615
