Escape From Tomorrow - Discussion (with Spoilers)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I was curious so I looked this up:

Once we got a distributor that’s when we started vetting the film to lawyers.

Is that why the name Disney is bleeped out in the dialogue?

Actually that’s in the Sundance version. And that was just more kind of a dark joke. We emphasized a few things more to make it obvious that we were parodying these corporations.

I thought so. The idea that they would need to bleep the name Disney after showing everything else was silly. Interesting that music rights trump all else.

BTW the film was cut by 14 minutes since Sundance, and he's saying they weren't censorship, just tightening the narrative. Fourteen MORE minutes? That would be excruciating.
