2 Men Accused of Taking, Selling Photos of ‘Batman’ Movie Set
Two men pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of sneaking into Warner Bros. studios in Burbank with fake passes and illegally shooting photographs and movie film on the set of “Batman and Robin”--then selling the material to the television show “Inside Edition.”
Michael Carri, 26, of Studio City--who had been an extra on the movie--and Gary DeRosa, 35, of Hollywood were arraigned on charges of burglary, trespassing, possession of stolen property and forgery of government documents, a Burbank Municipal Court clerk said.
A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Dec. 16.
An alleged accomplice, Kimberly Weiant, 29, of Hollywood, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday on counts of burglary, trespassing and forgery, the court clerk said.
The studio also will pursue the case in federal court and seek damages for copyright infringement and trade secret violations, said Rob Friedman, a studio spokesman.
