Simple.  First, you never entered into a contract with anyone for that
movie.  You simply claimed you'd be willing to pay for it.

Two, it doesn't exist.  If they make it, it's obvious it's not the
version you were looking for.  :)

I'm pretty sure you can't just send someone something and say they owe
you money.  If so, expect a chewed up pen cap worth $200 in a few days.
