SAM Magazie-Denver, Sept. 24, 2009-Warren Miller Entertainment is suing Level 1 Productions for including Warren Miller in Level 1's "Refresh." WME claims that Miller, 84, sold the right to his voice in a 1995 deal with WME. That deal, according to an article in the Denver Post, gave Warren Miller Entertainment "exclusive right, in perpetuity, in all media, to the name, the personal endorsement, use of voice and the likeness of Warren Miller."

According to the Post, at a recent showing of "Refresh" in Montreal, the Warren Miller lawsuit reports that the young audience "was chanting 'Warren, Warren' over and over." Ironically, WME began several years ago to phase Miller's presence out of its own films, to help the company transition away from its aging namesake and reach a bigger piece of the younger audience.
