"German cannibal Armin Meiwes has made legal moves to stop a movie that he alleges is based on him from being released. Meiwes was sentenced to eight and a half years for eating a man that he had met over the internet, and believes that Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story is based directly on his tale. The film, due for release in Germany on March 9th, tells the story of a student who becomes interested in the internet cannibal community after researching a jailed man-eater for her thesis. Meiwes&amp;#039; lawyer, Harald Ermel, has slammed the movie as a &amp;quot;slavish re-enactment&amp;quot; of real-life events and claims that it depicts a &amp;quot;false and stigmatized&amp;quot; version of events which could prejudice the second stage of Meiwes&amp;#039; trial, beginning Thursday.  Meiwes has given Hamburg production company Stampfwerk the rights to make a 90-minute documentary on himself and his trial.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
