Cannot add quote for "Evil Does Not Exist" as there's no character to actor mapping.

Hi,

We went to see "Evil Does Not Exist" (9 out of 10 stars) today and I wanted to add a quote but it gets rejected because the pull down list of character and actor pairs just lists the actor's name.

The cast list for the film also just lists the character name.

I checked the "Quotes" section of the submission guidelines and it makes no reference to this scenario.

Can you please fix this to allow us to enter quotes for this movie?

@sr98sr You can do this via the “Other” option on the character menu, as in:

This is covered in the guide at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/quotes/GJQY7DAWS89JU5AA

  • For those rare cases where no character is associated with the quote (e.g., it's on a title card), use "unknown" from the pulldown and enter the character name as Title Card (or Intertitle, or whatever you feel is appropriate).

(we will have the guide clarified here as it should refer to “Other” vs. “Unknown”)

Hope this helps.

Thank you Ozzy and Col_Needham.

I read that and thought that didn't apply in this case so thanks for clarifying.
