Chinese scenic spot sues Hollywood blockbuster producers
A scenic area in Chongqing Municipality has sued producers of "Transformers: Age of Extinction" for failing to show its logo in the movie.
According to the Chongqing Wulong Karst Tourism Group, the Wulong Scenic Area has filed a lawsuit at Chongqing No.3 Intermediate People's Court, accusing Paramount Pictures Corporation and Beijing-based 1905 Internet Technology company, another of the film's producers, of violating the contract.
The court has accepted the suit.
The area asked Paramount Pictures to show the logo "China Wulong" in the blockbuster in all DVDs, TV and digital platforms, and demanded producers return 4.8 million yuan (about 770,000 U.S. dollars) of contract payment.
It also required producers to cover economic losses of four million yuan as the area closed for several days while shooting the film.
"Transformers: Age of Extinction," the fourth installment in the robot movie franchise, has taken more than 1.9 billion yuan since its debut on June 27.
Fight Club to be Published as Comic Book Series
A sequel to the film "Fight Club" is to be published as a comic book series.
Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the original novel, say's the sequel will be published in May 2015, continuing a decade after the first installment.
The story concludes with the unnamed narrator realizing his manipulative and aggressive companion, Tyler Durden, is his own alter-ego.
The original novel became a film staring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in 1999.
The publisher, Dark Horse Comics, said Fight Club 2 would be set alternately in the past and the future, illustrated by Cameron Stewart.
Palahniuk says the approach will be more "cartoony" because it was better suited to the "density of the story and for its more absurdly comical moments.
