Apple Inc. has filed a lawsuit against a “Healthy Lifestyle Superhero” movie titled “Apple-Man,” seeking to halt its distribution over concerns that viewers might associate the production with itself.

What Happened

The action-comedy film—backed by a Kickstarter campaign that has raised EUR 101,717 ($114,187)—says it is a Superhero flick with a “strong social mission.”

“My movie is about apples, the fruits,” the film’s creator—Ukrainian director Vasyl Moskalenko—told iPhone in Canada.
