Woody Allen’s autobiography publisher to sue HBO

ublishers of Woody Allen’s autobiography, Apropos Of Nothing, have reportedly threatened to sue the P network HBO, and the makers of the documentary series AllenVFarrow, if they fail to furnish evidence for authorised use of audio from Allen in the documentary which has become a talking point ever since its first episode was aired recently. Skyhorse Publishing have sent a “litigation hold document” (also known as a preservation notice) to the network and filmmakers Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick, as the publishing house feels that the creators of the documentary didn’t gain proper clearance to use portions from Allen’s audio book. The network had signed a deal with the divorced couple’s son, Ronan Farrow, for the documentary last year.
