Salon Pictures, who are behind the film, responded with a statement, clarifying that they do not have the rights to Bowie’s music and the the film is not a biopic, but a “turning point in David’s life”.
Jones criticised the announcement, saying that the producers did not have rights to use Bowie’s music or the blessing of the family.
The producers of the upcoming David Bowie “biopic” have responded to Duncan Jones’s public criticism of their plans to make a film about his late father.
News recently circulated that musician-turned-actor Johnny Flynn would play the iconic singer in Stardust, a film that will focus on Bowie’s first tour of the US in 1971.
