Poll of the Day > Tara Reid is SUING Sharknado Producers for 100 MILLION DOLLARS!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

42 y/o D-Actress, Tara Reid is suing the producers of Sharknado for $100 MILLION dollars for using her images with her likeness on SLOT MACHINES!!

She played the part of April the fantasy thriller and cult hit for the franchise and insisted that her contract with Asylum and Syfy did not give the producers the right to use and profit the use of her image on beer cans and slot machines

The American Pie star accused them of "false endorsement" and "misappropriation of celebrity likeness" and is seeking massive damages where they profited millions from her

She also didn't want her face to be used on items related to tobacco, gambling or things of sexual nature and demanded an injunction banning her image from being used on machines ever again

Tara says Asylum violated their agreement by signing a deal with UK beer manufacturer Northern Monk Brewing to produce "Sharknado beer"

She was paid 125,000 smackers in Sharknado 5 and 175,000 in the 6th and final Sharknado titled "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time".

Tara admits that Sharknado was the STUPIDEST MOVIE ever when she was shown the script and rejectd the role initially because of r-word sharks in LA and taking over Beverley Hills.

Her friends changed her mind and said "I was out to dinner with friends and i was telling them about it and they laughed so har that it hurt and they were like, you have to do this movie, like, it's so funny, you know like it's so bad it's good"

And it did as the first Sharknado became a cult classic where it even screened in a few theatres..

Her character April went through massive changes as well after she went from a human character to a CYBORG and then to a TIME TRAVELLING CYBORG..The final movie finally concluded the franchise as there will no longer be anymore Sharknado's as Asylum tries to find another "original" property to milk after Lavantula, about fire breathing spiders, failed to spur anymore sequels..

Asylum is known for creating rip offs of big blockbuster films that have been universally trashed by audiences and critics but has a cult following of people who still buy into their films.

Did you watch Sharknado?

Lavantula? That's just fucking lazy.

I would think her image on things would reduce their value.

No, the first movie just wasn't much fun. The goofier sequels were a blast, though.

oh yeah that is totally suable. I thought it wouldn't look like her but it does

I like stupid movies, but Sharknado was booooring.

Doubt she actually has a case.

Did she "not want" her likeness used or did she sign a contract stating her likeness wasn't to be used or is there a clause in her contract that allowed for use of it?

she probably doesn't care. she just wants to be paid for using the likeness like Christopher Lloyd does.

if it wasn't in the contract or if the contract actually stated no likeness on the things she mentioned she's got a very good case, actually.

Lavantula sounds awesome
