Martin Scorsese's HBO TV documentary about Bill Clinton, which has been in the making since 2012, has been shelved until further notice.
According to the reports, the project, which was partly shot over the past 2 years, and was to feature the former US president making a philanthropic visit to South Africa, had stalled over disagreements on control of the film, the BBC reported.
According to sources working on the project, Clinton wanted to approve the questions he would be asked and the film's final edit, but a spokesman for the politician said the claim was "inaccurate".
Meanwhile, HBO's spokesperson has said that the film has been put on hold abut it doesn't mean it won't happen at all.
