""It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the Melania documentary," Greenwood and Anderson's representatives said in a joint statement obtained by Variety. His attorneys claimed that while Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, the film's distributor, 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.""
"The film includes a long excerpt of "Barbara Rose", a song the Radiohead guitarist composed for Anderson's film. The Brett Ratner-directed documentary, which followed the first lady in the 20 days leading up to her husband's second inauguration, has earned $13.35m domestically after two weekends of release, exceeding box office projections thanks, in part, to organised groups of Republican women who have made up a large portion of the audience."
Jonny Greenwood, who composed the score for Phantom Thread, and director Paul Thomas Anderson have requested removal of a Phantom Thread music segment from the Melania Trump documentary. Greenwood's attorneys stated that although Greenwood does not own the copyright to the score, Universal, the film's distributor, failed to consult him on the third-party use, which they allege breaches his composer agreement. The documentary includes a long excerpt of "Barbara Rose", a song Greenwood composed for Anderson's film. The Brett Ratner-directed film followed the first lady in the 20 days before the inauguration and has earned $13.35m domestically after two weekends, despite high production and marketing costs.
