Universal Is Getting Cold Feet on Releasing the Elon Musk Documentary (Exclusive)
(www.hollywoodreporter.com)
Universal knows for a fact that Musk will sue them the moment that film is released, and because of who he is, how much money he has, and who he knows, it won't be the average lawsuit. But so what? Universal is a big company, and they got big because of American economic policies. Now is their chance to give back, and exercise their responsibility to defend the First Amendment.
Carr, of course, oversees an agency that wields enormous power over media companies and currently is conducting an investigation into Comcast’s DEI practices.
Why can't companies operate their personnel any way they want, as long as they aren't discriminating against anyone?
Universal would be required to pay filmmakers a kill fee not to release the movie, according to a person familiar with the deal’s structure. The filmmakers would then be free to sell it anew, essentially allowing it to profit twice off the same rights sale.
And apparently there are international distributors that would LOVE to get their hands on this documentary, so it is likely to end up being legally shown everywhere but America, the Home of the Free®.
