Adrien Brody wins DVD `likeness` battle

Baku, November 24 (AZERTAC). Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody has won a legal battle against the makers of an Italian-set thriller movie for which he claims he was not fully paid.

The producers of Giallo - in which the actor played dual roles - have been ordered to stop distributing, marketing or selling the film in the US.

Giallo Productions Ltd and Hannibal Pictures are also prevented from using Brody`s likeness to promote the title.

Made in 2008, Giallo saw Brody play an FBI agent hunting a killer in Italy.

The Pianist star also played the murderer under the pseudonym Byron Deidra - an anagram of his name.

Brody, 37, alleges he is owed $640,000 (£405,753) for his work in the film and that it was released on DVD in the US last month without his consent.

He claims the film`s producers misled him about financing and overstated the value of the film`s Italian distribution rights.

The producers` lawyer has denied his clients behaved improperly.

Giallo was not released in the UK but was screened at London`s FrightFest film festival in August 2009.
