Sony has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle the class-action lawsuit brought by disgruntled movie-goers who claimed they were tricked into seeing movies like ‘A Knight’s Tale’ via ad blurbs by ‘David Manning’, a fictitious moive reviewer for the (non-fictitious) Ridgefield Press, a Connecticut paper.
If ‘David Manning’ convinced you to go see one or more of the movies ‘he’ blurbed (‘The Patriot’, ‘The Animal’, ‘Vertical Limit’, ‘A Knight’s Tale’, and ‘Hollow Man’), you can collect up to $5 per ticket from the settlement by filing a claim with the law firm heading up the class action suit.
