Outrage over the release of Oscar-nominated movie showing member of aircrew locking himself in

Outrage over the release of Oscar-nominated movie showing member of aircrew locking himself in cockpit to crash a plane and kill everyone on board

*Film fans raise chilling similarity between Wild Tales and Alps disaster
*First scenes of movie show madman crashing jet to murder his enemies
*Acclaimed Argentinian film released in UK today and is out in America
*Controversial movie was released in Germany and Spain last autumn


Excerpt:

An Oscar-nominated film will still be released in the UK today despite its disturbing similarities to the Alps air disaster - to the disgust of cinema-goers near to the home of one of the three British victims.

Argentinian film Wild Tales features a mass killer who locks himself in the cockpit of a passenger jet and crashes it in to the ground to murder everyone on board.

In terrifying scenes the fictional passengers panic and one tries to smash his way through a door to get to the controls in chillingly similar circumstances to the ill-fated Germanwings Airbus A320 flight.

---

Despite protests the highly-acclaimed movie will be shown in British cinemas from today, however, it was released in Spain and Germany last year although it is not known if Andreas Lubitz had seen it.

I wouldn't expect family members of the crash victims would go to see it.
