PEOPLE, Page 91Tape Wars
By GINIA BELLAFANTE
As if There weren't enough controversy surrounding SPIKE
LEE'S upcoming bio flick, Malcolm X. Now the fiery auteur is
waging a legal battle to retain the right to use 45 seconds of
footage from the Rodney King beating in the opening scenes of
the film. George Holliday, the man who made the tape, is suing
Lee, claiming his original arrangement with the filmmaker was
invalid. "It's a done deal. We have a contract; he cashed the
check," says Spike. Malcolm X is expected to hit theaters this
November.
