According to Variety, attorneys for Aretha Franklin and producer Alan Elliott are asking for “breathing room” to resolve their legal dispute over footage from Elliott’s documentary Amazing Grace, which was pulled from the Telluride Film Festival after the Queen of Soul challenged its release in court. On March 7, reps for Franklin and Elliott asked a federal court in Denver to enter a preliminary injunction prohibiting Elliott from screening the movie without her consent, with the stipulation that the case be reopened as they try to work on a settlement. Franklin had sued Elliott for using the footage from the 1972 gospel concert without authorization and it was pulled from Telluride after a federal judge ruled in her favor. Since then, the judge in the case, John Kane, has granted several extensions to a temporary injunction as the parties tried to resolve the case…………
