Oh brother. Watch the hype machine! In "The Adventures in the Screen Trade" legendary scribe William Goldman told a story about how Harvard University was involved with the false release of information for the sake of hyping a movie. His point was that if they could be involved, anyone could.

Remember when Sally Field portrayed that woman who married a Muslim man and she wanted to get her daughter back? (Not Without My Daughter) Just prior to opening, a studio exec for that movie claimed that he had received bomb and death threats from a Muslim group. Everyone in LA was highly skeptical about it -- even the radio broadcaster said -- "supposedly received these death threats."
