Writer-Director Vera Drew isn’t going to let an angry letter stop her from showing her film to the world.
If you haven’t heard the news, Vera Drew’s The People’s Joker was pulled from future TIFF screenings after Warner Bros. served a cease-and-desist order against the film. This means that the film will probably struggle to see the light of day ever again despite the content and story being a unique work that parodies well-known DC characters.
On Wednesday night, Drew released a statement on what happened between TIFF, the legal status of The People’s Joker, and where the filmmaker will go from here. In the letter, Drew notes that the production was not hit by a cease-and-desist from “a media conglomerate that shall remain nameless,” but was instead sent an “angry letter” that pressured her to not screen the film.
