Fox decided to pull the trailer for Neighborhood Watch due to the Trayvon Martin case. The movie stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade as four suburbanites who form a group to watch their neighborhood. Fox issued the following statement;
We are very sensitive to the Trayvon Martin case, but our film is a broad alien-invasion comedy and bears absolutely no relation to the tragic events in Florida, The movie, which is not scheduled for release for several months, was made and these initial marketing materials were released before this incident ever came to light. The teaser materials were part of an early phase of our marketing and were never planned for long-term use. Above all else, our thoughts go out to the families touched by this terrible event.”
