Urban Legend

is there a legal process involved in order to obtain rights to use an urban legend in a story?
If i were to write a book or make a movie based on an urban legend, would i need to obtain rights to it? If so who do I get this permission from and what are the legal implications?

You need to investigate if the character is copyrighted or not, If it truly legend, fictional, and without a a copyright protection you are good to go.

Urban Legend - Widescreen $8.99 Australian director Jamie Blanks helmed this teen horror film set at Pendleton University. Campus legend has it that 25 years earlier Pendleton was the site of a mass murder by a demented abnormal psych instructor who killed six students and then himself. However, no proof of the prof's deed remains. Urban legends are the subject of a course in American folklore taught by Professor Wexler (Robert Englund). When a series of bizarre deaths occur on the campus, assertive student Natalie thinks they are murders based on urban legends, but classmates Brenda (Rebecca Gayheart), ambitious journalism major Paul (Jared Leto), and practical joker Damon (Joshua Jackson) claim it's just a coincidence. Then Natalie begins to realize that she's the next victim. Since Joshua Jackson is a co-lead on TV's Dawson's Creek, an inside joke surfaces when a radio plays a bit of the Dawson's Creek theme (Paula Cole's I Don't Want to Wait). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi |
