Listen, filmmakers, we understand -- sometimes you just want your movie to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, in trying so hard to maintain that status quo, really stupid scenes manage to slip in.
Sometimes the trailer editors decide that if nobody will want to see the actual movie that got made, well, they'll just pretend it's something different entirely.
Every story you've ever watched or read includes characters that are, in reality, based on somebody the writer knew. But you'd be surprised to see how totally out of left field the real-life inspirations often are.
