My Nappy ROOTS: HEARING DATE SET FOR PRELIMARY INJUNCTION BLOCKING “GOOD HAIR” RELEASE

FEDERAL JUDGE SETS HEARING DATE FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION BLOCKING RELEASE OF “GOOD HAIR”

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11, 2009 – - On Thursday, Federal District Court Judge Dale S. Fischer ordered a hearing on whether defendants should be blocked from releasing Chris Rock’s “Good Hair,” which is slated for nationwide release on Oct. 23. The judge set the hearing date for Oct. 19.

The plaintiff in the case, Regina Kimbell, producer of the film “My Nappy Roots,” alleges that Rock did not tell her that he had a deal with HBO to produce a film about Black hair when he asked to see her film. In court papers, her claim is supported by her co-producer who was present at the screening where Rock has admitted he saw her film.
