File:Malcolm McDowell Clockwork Orange.png[edit]
British film. Any reason for U.S. law to apply? Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- The movie is a US-GB coproduction, isn't it ? --Guise (talk) 17:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- The movie was screened in the USA, and gained the US law. Stanley Kubrick was the American film director and producer. Dgw (talk) 18:08, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Kubrick was American but was resident in the UK at the time (and thus qualifying as a US national living abroad), where he made the film. The copyright was shared by Warner Bros and Polaris productions (the latter of which seems to be a shell company, and almost certainly incorporated in the UK to qualify for the Eady levy). The film itself premiered in the US first but went on general release in the UK a month earlier. However, it is likely the trailer in both countries preceded the US premiere. If the trailer debuted in the UK first then the trailer is under UK copyright and not in the US PD due to the URAA. If the trailer debuted in the US first then it is in the US PD. That is my interpretation. Betty Logan (talk) 18:52, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- The trailer for A Clockwork Orange was not made by Kubrick himself, it was made by US resident Pablo Ferro using only outtakes for the film (1). Just found out there's also an US TV Spot for the film which includes some of the material used in the trailer (including the file in question). You can tell the TV spot was made for US exhibition because it has an MPAA "R rated" card near the titles.--Mayimbú (talk) 22:12, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
