Dylan wants “Factory Girl” be ceased
Bob Dylan is trying to prevent the release of Sienna Miller's new film “Factory Girl” as he believes a character in the film may constitute denigration.
The film supposedly blames a character named Danny Quinn, who allegedly represents Dylan for being responsible for driving a young woman to suicide by ending their relationship according to Digital Spy.
Dylan's lawyer Orin Snyder clarified his client's stance to the filmmakers.
"You appear to be laboring under the misunderstanding that merely changing the name of a character or making him a purported fictional composite will immunize you from suit. That is not so”, said Snyder.
“Even though Mr. Dylan's name is not used, the portrayal remains both defamatory and a violation of Mr. Dylan's right of publicity. Until we are given an opportunity to view the film, we hereby demand that all distribution and screenings... immediately be ceased", also said Dylan’s attorney.
