Washington — Billy Joel said this week that the upcoming biopic titled Billy & Me is moving forward without his authorization or support, his representative told Variety on May 20. The representative stated the production does not possess Joel's life rights or the required music rights; John Ottman is reported to be attached as director and casting is underway. Joel's team called any attempt to proceed without authorization legally and professionally misguided; producers have secured exclusive life rights from Irwin Mazur and Jon Small and the film is listed as pre-production on IMDb. Filming is slated for this fall, and rights clearances, public statements, and potential legal steps will determine whether the project proceeds.
