A documentary on former president Bill Clinton by veteran director Martin Scorsese has been indefinitely shelved after the sides disagreed on control of the film, the New York Times reported.

The paper said that the partially completed film stalled after Clinton demanded more direction over the interview questions and the final product. It also reported that Clinton’s spokesman, Matt McKenna, said claims that the film had been suspended over the disputes were “inaccurate” without providing further detail.

The paper also reported that a spokesman for HBO, which backed the documentary, said, “It’s not happening soon but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen.”
