Overview
- Jonny Greenwood and Paul Thomas Anderson say a Phantom Thread excerpt was included without consultation and asked for its removal.
- Producer Marc Beckman calls the allegation false and says the production holds fully executed licenses and paid all artists.
- The track at issue is Barbara Rose, composed by Greenwood for Anderson’s 2017 film Phantom Thread.
- The filmmakers’ statement alleges Universal failed to consult Greenwood, described as a breach of his composer agreement.
- The excerpt remains in the theatrical cut, and any soundtrack change is uncertain as the documentary continues its high-profile run licensed by Amazon MGM for about $40 million with roughly $13.35 million in two-week domestic grosses.
