Movie “Drive” Didn’t Have Enough Driving, Says Class Action Lawsuit
By Sarah Pierce
A Michigan woman has filed a class action lawsuit against the distributors of the movie Drive because the movie didn’t have enough, um, driving. The Ryan Gosling crime drama may have been a hit with critics, but Sarah Deming was not one of them. Deming claims in the Drive class action lawsuit that the distributors of the movie, FilmDistrict, “promoted the film Drive as very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies.”
Instead of featuring lots of chase scenes, however, the movie centers mostly on Gosling’s relationship with the lead female character, with some gruesome violence sprinkled in between. The violence in the movie is also a target of Deming’s lawsuit.
“Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film… having very little driving in the motion picture,” the Drive class action lawsuit states. “Drive was a motion picture that substantially contained extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith.”
Deming is seeking a refund of her movie ticket, in addition to halting the production of “misleading movie trailers” in the future. She is also asking that her case be turned into a class action lawsuit to allow fellow unhappy moviegoers the chance to share in the settlement.
