We still have a few weeks to go before the airing of HBO's Robert Durst documentary, but the battle between the film's creators and the rest of the Durst family is already heating up. A lawyer for the family sent director Andrew Jarecki a letter "respectfully request[ing]" an advance screening "[g]iven your track record of producing credibility-challenged projects." (So respectful. Possibly the most respectful request ever?) "[I]t is not HBO's practice to make copies of our films available to those who request them in advance of their premieres," HBO responded.
