An article over at Newsvine reports that Universal Pictures has agreed to pay $20,000 to the Alaska Press Club to settle complaints about fake news archives used to promote the movie The Fourth Kind, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. You can click the link for more on that story OR click here for something far more interesting. The Fourth Kind mixed in celebrity reenactments with "supposed" real footage from a town's documented series of abductions.

Bwahaha! Oh, this is just too precious! Another "based on true events" movie that's not so? What a shocker!

It would be spooky if shit like that did happen, but hollywood has no more ideas and since Paranormal Activity, we've been seeing alot more documentary style movies depicting "true" events, but we all know that they are fabricated. And, even if it was real families would be suing all over the place. And The studios can't have that, can they?

I saw this movie at Screamfest LA. Right when the first supposed "real" footage was shown, I knew right away that it was fake. I still liked the movie. Thought it was a good solid thriller.

Not surprised! I posted this news article on the Close Encounters thread, for it was in the Sac Bee here yesterday. What executives will do to market a movie. Oh wells $20,000 loss not a big deal to them!!

Really, honestly? Was there ever any doubt that it was fake? If anyone ever for a split second believed this was anything other than Hollywood magic, they need to crawl back under their rock.

i live in fairbanks and this is all over the paper. it only looks like that in southeast alaska. i 've lived in ketchikan, juneau and fairbanks. i plan to move to anchorage next summer. if you ever visit alaska- go to anchorage. the most beautiful parts are anchorage and south of anchorage.its like an arctic atlanta. you have little shopping choices elsewhere. at least anchorage does'nt feel like the boonies where you're lucky to have a walmart. it gets all texas flat in the interior- and i miss the bald eagles, orcas, bears, stellar jays,mountains, belugas etc. fairbanks kinda sucks. can't wait till spring to move. right now it's dark by 4 and in the teens. and i still have -40 degrees to look forward to. it'll get to a point where i only 3 hrs of cloudy sun a day. definately looking forward to anchorage!
