Giallo (film)
"Giallo" premiered at the 2009 Edinburgh International Film Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. It premiered in America at the Omaha International Film Festival in Omaha, Nebraska on 14 March 2010. Claiming he was not paid the correct amount for his role in the film, Adrien Brody filed a lawsuit against the filmmakers, and attempted to prevent the film's release on DVD until he received his full salary. In late November 2010 Brody was granted a ruling in United States District Court that blocked the sale or use of Brody's likeness in "Giallo" until the actor's remaining salary was paid. On 20 January 2011, "Deadline Hollywood Daily" reported that Brody had reached a settlement with the producers. Brody stated, "I very much enjoyed the process of making "Giallo" and am happy that things have been resolved and that people can now enjoy seeing the film."
