'Drive' viewer files lawsuit over 'misleading' trailer

A Michigan woman has filed a lawsuit against the distributors of Drive after claiming that the film's trailer was misleading.

Sarah Deming has lodged legal papers against FilmDistrict for allegedly promoting the indie movie as similar to the Fast and Furious franchise.

"[FilmDistrict] promoted the film Drive as very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies," Deming's lawsuit reads, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film, having very little driving in the motion picture.

"Drive was a motion picture that substantially contained extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoting criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith."

Deming is seeking a full refund of her cinema ticket and hopes that her individual case will lead to a class-action lawsuit against Hollywood to stop the release of so-called 'misleading movie trailers'.

Director Nicolas Winding Refn won the 'Best Director' accolade at Cannes Film Festival this year for Drive, which has received critical acclaim since its release.
