You Won’t Be Watching The Trailer For Neighborhood Watch
at
20th Century FOX is running through movie theaters across the country pulling down the teaser-posters and yanking the teaser-trailers for the new Ben Stiller – Vince Vaughn – Jonah Hill comedy “Neighborhood Watch” because of the recent Trayvon Martin shooting. The poster features an alien on a neighborhood watch sign and it’s riddled with bullet holes. The studio wants to show sensitivity to make sure there’s no confusion between the film and the incident. They obviously feel that movie goers are no smarter than the box of popcorn they’re eating if they can’t tell Vince Vaughn and some aliens apart from real life.
