Paul Thomas Anderson and Jonny Greenwood Demand Removal of Phantom Thread Score From Melania Trump Doc
- On Monday, Jonny Greenwood, Radiohead guitarist and film composer, and Paul Thomas Anderson, director, demanded removal of Phantom Thread music from the Melania documentary, alleging Universal Pictures licensed it without Greenwood's permission.
- The Melania documentary includes a long excerpt of "Barbara Rose," a piece Greenwood composed for Phantom Thread, which he and Anderson allege was licensed without permission.
- Amazon MGM paid $40 million to acquire Melania and spent $35 million on theatrical marketing, while the documentary has earned $13.35 million domestically after two weekends.
- They have requested its removal, and media outlets Pitchfork and The Hollywood Reporter have contacted Universal Pictures, while Amazon MGM did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Against a backdrop of controversy, industry observers note that Greenwood's career spans 12 films over 25 years, while critics speculate Amazon MGM's spending on the Melania documentary was politically motivated.
