Back in 2014, it was reported that the Chongqing based Wulong Karst Tourism group was threatening to sue Paramount over a missed product placement. The group made a deal with Paramount which involved their logo being shown on screen in exchange for a $750,000 payment toward the film’s production. Age of Extinction had a pivotal scene introducing the Dinobots being filmed in the Wulong Karst – and while this is prominently in the film, the logo’s placement was left on the cutting room floor. Because of this, the group – which has been making various legal noises between 2014 and now – is seeking $27million from Paramount and their Chinese partners. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this case is only now progressing through the courts in China, and a verdict has yet to be reached. We will update you when we have more information on this story.
