 Actors sue Tutima watches for unauthorized ad
American actor Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have teamed up to sue a film distributor and watch company on Wednesday for Tutima watch advertisements tied to the 2008 film "Righteous Kill".
Both the actors said in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that they never authorized a commercial tie-in between Tutima watches and the movie distributor. They sought unspecified damages.
The actors recently starred in the movie distributed by Overture Films LLC. The lawsuit names Overture and Tutima USA Inc. as defendants.
Overture issued a statement, saying, "We are surprised by this action as Overture Films has not received any communication on this matter for months from Pacino, De Niro or their representatives. We take lawsuits very seriously and our legal team is addressing the issue".
Tutima did not comment anything.
In the lawsuit, it is mentioned that Overture entered into a commercial tie-in with Tutima and advertised Tutima's watches using De Niro's and Pacino's names, voices and likenesses without their consent.
