"It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the Melania documentary, the pair said in a statement to 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."
"Melania, directed by Brett Ratner, purports to provide an inside look at the life of the former Melania Knauss, the Slovenian model who married Donald Trump and now serves as first lady of the United States. It has been uniformly panned by critics as dull and unrevealing; in a rare zero-star review, the Guardian's Xan Brooks called it deadly, dispiriting and one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn't have a single redeeming quality."
Paul Thomas Anderson and Jonny Greenwood asked for music from Phantom Thread to be removed from the Melania documentary after discovering a piece of the score was used. Universal did not consult Greenwood on the third-party use, which Greenwood says breaches his composer agreement despite not owning the score's copyright. Brett Ratner directed the film about Melania Knauss. Critics largely panned the documentary as dull and unrevealing, including a zero-star review from the Guardian. The film earned $13.35m domestically in two weeks, dropped 67% in its second weekend, and involved large payments from Amazon MGM for rights and marketing.
