I hope this question is posted in the right area.

I'm wondering about copyright. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing whether anyone has attempted to print t-shirts with quotes from movies or other copyrighted material and how those rights can be purchased.

If I wanted to use a quote from a movie on a t-shirt, for instance, who would I need to contact to obtain the rights for reproduction?

If it's only a single sentence from a script, would it still require a copyright?

What can I expect to pay for such rights? Might it include a portion of sales, or would it be an upfront fee?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Corey

My guess is that you would try their legal department (for the studio).
