The producer says it doesn\u2019t want <em>Blade Runner 2049 <\/em>to be affiliated with Musk because of his \u201cextreme political and social views,\u201d pointing to ongoing efforts with potential partners for an upcoming TV series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe complaint, which brings claims for copyright infringement and false endorsement, also names Warner Bros. Discovery for allegedly facilitating the partnership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cAny prudent brand considering any Tesla partnership has to take Musk\u2019s massively amplified, highly politicized, capricious and arbitrary behavior, which sometimes veers into hate speech, into account,\u201d states the complaint. \u201cAlcon did not want BR2049 to be affiliated with Musk.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tTesla partnered with Warners for the robotaxi showcase, which was done from a studio lot, the lawsuit says. At the presentation, Musk reached the stage in a \u201ccybercab\u201d before showing an image of a male figure wearing a trench coat as he surveys the abandoned ruins of a city bathed in a misty, orange light. In the upper left corner, the words \u201cNot This\u201d appear superimposed on part of the sky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThis image was \u201cclearly intended to read visually\u201d as an actual still from <em>Blade Runner 2049<\/em>\u2018s iconic sequence of Ryan Gosling\u2019s character exploring a ruined Las Vegas. Alcon claims it was created by copying images from the film and prompting an AI image generator for a replica over the company\u2019s clear denial of licensing rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tMusk directly referenced the Denis Villeneuve sci-fi epic in his remarks. \u201cYou know, I love \u2018Blade Runner,\u2019 but I don\u2019t know if we want that future,\u201d he said. \u201cI believe we want that duster he\u2019s wearing, but not the, uh, not the bleak apocalypse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe lawsuit cites an agreement, the details of which are unknown to Alcon, for Warners to lease or license studio lot space, access and other materials to Tesla for the event. Alcon alleges that the deal included promotional elements allowing Tesla to affiliate its products with WBD movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWBD was Alcon\u2019s domestic distributor for the 2017 release of Blade Runner 2049. It has limited clip licensing rights, though not for Tesla\u2019s livestream TV event, the lawsuit claims. Alcon says it wasn\u2019t informed about the brand deal until the day of the unveiling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tAccording to the complaint, Musk communicated to WBD that he wanted to associate the robotaxi with the film. He asked the company for permission to use a still directly from the movie, which prompted an employee to send an emergency request for clearance to Alcon since international rights would be involved, the lawsuit says. The producer refused, spurring the creation of the AI images.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cAll of the Defendants participated in its creation, and in its display in the presentation at the event, from a WBDI-owned building and studio lot, on WBDI-owned video screens and otherwise using WBDI-owned technology infrastructure, operated by or in conjunction with Tesla employees, all acting in whole or in part subject to the direction and control of Musk,\u201d the complaint states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tAlcon seeks unspecified damages, as well as a court order barring Tesla from further distributing the disputed promotional materials.  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/business\/business-news\/blade-runner-2049-producer-sues-elon-musk-tesla-warner-bros-discovery-1236040228\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A production company for Blade Runner 2049 has sued Tesla, which allegedly fed images from the movie into an artificial intelligence image generator to create unlicensed promotional materials.
