With use of computer graphics they can do more movies without the military interference.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoCan they? Isn't the depiction of (real / existing) military hardware protected by idk, trademarks and the like? I mean all bets are off if it's all fantasy weaponry and organizations (like idk, in Starship Troopers).
- MagnumOpus 9y agoNo it is not. The depiction of branded assets is fair game. Mentioning the branded goods is also fair game, but more dangerous because in some cases it might be construed as slander and slander is actionable grounds for a lawsuit. (Famously, LVMH sued Warner Bros successfully when they used a fake LV handbag as a prop and a character said "This is a Louis Vuitton".)
- elil17 9y agoOne of the resources the military provides is computer graphics assets like models of planes. So no, a movie that tries to create cgi scenes of war without military approval will be at a strong financial disadvantage compared to one that is allowed to use premade assets supplied by DOD.
