Suicide Squad fan threatens to sue Warner Bros. for false advertising.
Suicide Squad opened last weekend, breaking records for one of the biggest August release in history. But, at least one guy was not that impressed.
An upset moviegoer who saw Suicide Squad claims he will sue Warner Bros. for false advertising because a number of scenes used to promote the feature film didn’t actually make it into the movie.
“I’m now taking this to court,” Reddit user BlackPanther2016 wrote on r/movies. “I want my refund.”
In order to prove his point, BlackPanther2016 shared movie clips featured in the trailer that ended up not appearing in the movie, including one in which the Joker says, “I can’t wait to show you my toys.”
BlackPanther2016 argues: “… the trauma of being embarrassed as I was being kicked out and people laughing at me for wanting my refund, and also the 160 pounds of fuel money I used to drive to London from Scotland. Don’t let them bribe you with their ‘deluxe premium special directors gold extended edition supreme cut’ nonsense. You should get what they advertised as their first theatre showing and what you have paid for based on what they have showed you in their advertisements.”
This news comes after Jared Leto revealed that a large amount of Joker footage had been cut from the movie, so much so that he argued that “there’s probably enough footage in this film for a Joker movie.”
“As the film stands now,” Leto asserted, “it’s much more of a supporting part than a lot of people may have assumed, but it feels like there may be more to come. I think it entirely depends upon the response of the public. If they respond to this Joker, I could imagine the Joker coming back.”
