So, some of you may have heard, but Warren Miller Entertainment (WME) has filed a lawsuit against Level 1 Productions as a result of Warren Miller narrating Level 1's newest film, "Refresh".  This was not the "scare the kid with the camera by sending a letter threatening to sue him" letter......this was a 100 page Lawsuit filed in Federal Court for Level 1's use of Warren Miller's voice in their new film. Also, as some of you may know, the entire Warren Miller involvement was a secret that was not promoted in anyway, shape, or form. It was a surprise for the audience that allowed Level 1 Productions to do something special for his 10th film. They did not seek out Warren, nor did he advertise his involvement in the film whatsoever.

Well, as some of you also may be aware, Warren has not been in a WME film in like 6 years. They have been using his pre-recorded voice-over and old audio to make it seem like he is involved when in actuality he really wants nothing to do with the current WME company. Plus, Warren wanted to get back at WME reconnect with his audience by working with Level 1 this year. (That alone makes Warren just that much cooler in our book by the way).

The lawsuit is a really serious one and they are coming after Josh for what they refer to as irreparable damage to their brand and they are also claiming that Level 1 is misleading their audience by advertising that they are making a Warren Miller Film. That is not even the tip of the iceberg of the outrageous and asinine claims that they are making in this lawsuit. Not only is the lawsuit absurd, but they actually called the Boulder Theatre and demanded that they not play the film at the Premiere on Wednesday night due to the pending lawsuit.  WME is already as clueless and as far removed as any company in action sports, but this puts them into far-reaching realm of idiocy in our book.

The best part about this is that they deliver the court papers with around 15 hours notice of the hearing.  Of course the fellas at Level 1 are understandably flustered, frustrated, and concerned (even though they did absolutely nothing wrong).  The following morning the judge reprimanded WME for the completely ridiculous approach they took to try to catch Level 1 with their pants down.  They also removed the temporary restraining order that WME tried to put on the Boulder Theatre demanding that they not play the film....yeah, WME actually threatened the Boulder Theatre with a lawsuit if they played the movie tonight.

So, in the meantime we are urging you to avoid supporting Warren Miller Entertainment's newest film "Dynasty" in anyway possible.  A few news agencies are going to be releasing information regarding this soon. WME has had a really difficult time reaching this demographic already, and we hope that word of this absurdity spreads to a larger audience.

Oh yeah, and go see a movie that actually has Warren Miller's real voice in it tonight by heading to the Boulder Theatre!
