DYLAN SLAMS FILMMAKERS OVER SUICIDE SUGGESTION

Melancholic lyricist and legendary song writer BOB DYLAN has announced his plans to scupper the release of a new film he says falsely implies he was responsible for a suicide.

DYLAN is furious at the producers and scriptwriters of FACTORY GIRL, which stars SIENNA MILLER playing EDIE SEDGWICK, an ANDY WARHOL protege who took an overdose in 1971, claiming the singer played a part in her suicide.

DYLAN's lawyer has written a letter to the producers of the film, stating that the screenplay which depicts the end of an alleged relationship between the two, who met while living in Manhattan in the early 1970s, prompted her "tragic decline into heroin addiction and eventual suicide".

The musician now wants the film pulled until the legal side has been determined, with lawyers admitting DYLAN has "deep concerns" he has been defamed.

However, he is not the only musical legend to feel aggrieved at the makers of the movie. Fellow performer LOU REED, who is also depicted and named in the film, has labelled all those involved in the production as a "bunch of whores".

He described the script as "one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen".
