Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood is demanding that his music be removed from Amazon's new Melania Trump documentary.
Greenwood has written music for 12 films, but did not contribute music to the Melania doc. However, a section of music from the score that the guitarist wrote for director Paul Thomas Anderson's 2017 film Phantom Thread appears in Brett Ratner's new film about America's First Lady, and neither Greenwood nor Anderson is happy about this.
“It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the Melania documentary,” the pair say in a statement given to film industry bible Variety. “While Jonny Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, Universal failed to consult Jonny on this third-party use which is a breach of his composer agreement. As a result Jonny and Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for it to be removed from the documentary.”
