Question from the not so knowing canucklhead.
Would I get in too much trouble if I have a character in a script that is loosely based on a real life serial (child) killer.
My first instinct would be no, as the overall story isn't based on any real event, but some bleeding heart might think I've infinged on this criminals rights, seeing the guy gets his head blown off in the opening scene.
There's always that clause at the end of a movie "the characters in this flick are fictitious and bear no resemblance to any living yadda yadda yadda...
Your thoughts?
