if he came up with the idea for the key art and they dont have secured usage its his ip and theyre breaking the law. especially since they agreed on licensing in the future. obv not a a misunderstanding. lawyers need to weigh in of course, but looks to me like pressing would be worthwile, punitive judgements in cases like these all the time.

So posters, in 99% percent of cases, have nothing to do with the director. He/she may chat with the creatives or give a tick of approval, if that.

Also Spike Lee, love or hate him, is probably working his fucking ass off right now, blogs being the last thing on his mind (and I imagine he is one of those older types who barely even use the internet).
- doubtful that in this day and age, he has no publicist or assistant to help with that...babaganush

This guy must have a claim for serious cash?!...anyway, Spike Lee is a dick. Django unchained was 'direspectful to his ancestors'...probably because it was a great film that he never made. He can only do shite remakes.
- regardless, the guy should name and shame the agency before Spike Lee...he may have come to the party very latebabaganush
- django unchainecd is a remakealbums
- technically yes...albeit totally unlike the original. It's really a totally different film and storyline...babaganush

Really should proof read something like that before he posts it.
And struggling to see the RIP - if he comes out of the case in the film and the girl has that brollie etc its not even his original idea.
Confused.com.- someone explain please - cannot see his original work in the final posters?fadein11

I just read the letter, and some of the resulting articles on the web (e.g. Buesiness Insider, Slashfilm, et al). This really, really fucking sucks.
JG_LB, I really do hope you've kept every single last email between you and the agency about this mess. That would really strengthen your case if/when it goes before a judge.
All the best, mate.

I was asked early in this post why I didn't like Spike Lee.
His views towards Django were one reason, this is another http://www.celebritynetworth.com… and the Spike TV thing that was mentioned was new to me but just another reason that he's a bit of a knob.

This part here...
"They forwarded me an email you sent them asking for an explanation but of course they lied to you and said they didn’t know who was responsible."
