Title: Satisfaction for Jagger over rival biopic Post by Nellcote on Jun 4th, 2008 at 6:22pm
Sir Mick Jagger's famously hard-nosed approach to business has been causing headaches for creators of the upcoming Dylan Thomas biopic, Edge of Love.
The movie, starring Keira Knightley, was due to feature parts of Thomas's 1939 poetry and prose collection Map of Love. Unfortunately for them, large chunks of the Welsh poet's works now belong to Jagger. Since the Rolling Stones' production company, Jagged Films, is also planning a film on Thomas, his lawyers demanded the scenes be edited. "We had access to a few of his poems. Unfortunately Mick Jagger owns quite a lot and he has his own Dylan Thomas film project," the movie's director John Maybury told an audience at Hay. "There were parts of the set where we used elements of Map of Love but we had to CGI them out because Mick threatened to sue if we kept them in there." http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/pandora/pandora-burglary-blights-zidane-book-838882.html |
