The movie dispute dates back to 2006, when Cummings-Ramone consented to a potential production but later claimed the film was based on Leigh’s “one-sided recitation” of the band. An arbitrator in 2019 pleaded with Linda and Leigh to put aside their differences, and warned them that the battles were causing the Ramones brand to experience “tepid growth”.as a demonstration of “the power that a biopic can have on improving the stature of a rock band”.
