FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA — The controversy surrounding the unauthorized documentary about Wayne Static and Tera Wray continues to intensify. Director Matt Zane now claims he was offered a substantial financial payout in exchange for abandoning the project altogether.
According to Zane, he received a call from a production company attempting to broker a deal between himself and Static-X management.
“I got a call from a decent-sized production company that was attempting to work out a deal between myself and Static-X management regarding my documentary, saying they would basically be willing to essentially pay me to not make the film,” said Zane.
Zane says he refused the offer, but alleges that further attempts followed.
“A day or so later I get a call from Josh Vargas, another director friend of mine who’s done some notable stuff. He says he has an even bigger project for me and can start getting me money by the end of the week as long as I drop the Wayne and Tera project. Obviously the timing was incredibly suspicious. I politely declined.”
The estates of Wayne Static and Tera Wray have previously issued a cease and desist order against the production. Despite the legal pressure and what he describes as financial incentives to step away, Zane insists he will continue forward.
“I’m self-funding it now. Whatever it takes. Wayne and Tera asked me to do this and it will become apparent when the movie is released.”
The documentary, which remains unauthorized by the estates, is currently in development. Zane has stated he intends to proceed independently.
