Bob Dylan wants to stop the release of "Factory Girl"

Bob Dylan is seeking a court injunction to stop the release of the Sienna Miller-starring biopic Factory Girl, over concerns the movie defames him.

The film, which maps the life of Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick, allegedly suggests Dylan was responsible for her 1971 suicide after jilting her.

Dylan is so hot and bothered, his lawyers have demanded that producers block the release of the movie until they have seen it themselves, according to PageSix.

Although Dylan's name has been changed to Danny Quinn and the part "is reportedly a mix of him, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger," Dylan's attorney Orin Snyder insists critics who've seen screenings report the character - played by Hayden Christensen - is unmistakably Bob Dylan.

Snyder warns the filmmakers, "You appear to be laboring under the misunderstanding that merely changing the name of a character or making him a purported fictional composite will immunize you from suit. That is not so. Even though Mr. Dylan's name is not used, the portrayal remains both defamatory and a violation of Mr. Dylan's right of publicity. Until we are given an opportunity to view the film, we hereby demand that all distribution and screenings... immediately be ceased."

The movie is due to be released later this month.
