Anti-Evolution film 'Expelled' to Be Re-Released Following Court Victory Over Yoko Ono
June 18, 2008, Fox News
The controversial film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" will be re-released theatrically this summer across the United States to celebrate the film's legal victory over Yoko Ono, according to the documentary's producers.
In June, Ono lost her Manhattan legal battle to block the use of John Lennon's song "Imagine" in the film, which challenges the theory of evolution. Ono, Lennon's widow, argued that the makers of "Expelled" used parts of the song without her permission.
"Expelled," which stars author/actor/economist Ben Stein and presents a sympathetic view of intelligent design, the theory that the universe is too complex to be explained by evolution alone, debuted at No. 10 at the box office in April, but saw its theatrical run marred by the Ono lawsuit, according to the film's producers.
