The producers behind the “Ace Ventura” movies this week filed suit against Netflix and a New York-based documentary production company, accusing them of using clips from “Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls” without permission.
In a complaint filed Monday in federal court, attorneys for Morgan Creek Productions took issue with two clips used “without permission or license” in the first episode of “Tiger King.” The clips, which are shown for about 5 seconds total, include Jim Carey interacting with exotic animals in his role as the title character.
“Tiger King” drew 64 million viewers in the first four weeks after it premiered in March 2020, as people nationwide became stuck at home due to shutdowns prompted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The series focused on “Joe Exotic,” or Joseph Maldonado-Passage, a tiger breeder and owner of a private big-cat zoo in Oklahoma, and his years-long feud with Carole Baskin, the CEO of the nonprofit Big Cat Rescue.
