I thought that name was familiar. It’s the miracle drug called “dex” and hyped in the Chris O’Donnell movie, Vertical Limit.
My bet is Vertical Limit is the next movie to trend (after Contagion): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_Limit
Does this story remind anyone else of David Manning?

Cause he was a fake 'expert' meant to shill products too. In that case, a fake movie critic created by Sony to sell its worst movies.
As it turned out, misleading customers that way was illegal, and hence as mentioned on the wiki page:
> On August 3, 2005, Sony made an out-of-court settlement and agreed to refund $5 each to dissatisfied customers who saw Hollow Man, The Animal, The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, or Vertical Limit in American theatres, as a result of Manning's reviews.
Wonder if something similar could happen here?
