BOULDER CITY, Nev. (InvestigateTV) — The fortune-telling arcade machine made famous by the 1988 film “Big,” starring Tom Hanks, is still being built, and the operation is run out of Boulder City, Nevada.
Olaf Stanton, founder of Characters Unlimited, said his company acquired the Zoltar trademark in 2006.
“In 2006 we stumbled onto the Zoltar trademark, which they had not trademarked Zoltar since they made the movie in 1988,” Stanton said.
