Obviously those who responded to my protesting of the FG movie haven't been intensely following it and a fan of Edie's.
The only reason these "factory people" like Berlin and Michael Post are collaborating is to get another chance at fame. To get money. To get their name out there. Edie wasn't the nicest person, and they have said they never really cared for her. Michael Post, Edie's husband, had her tombstone engraved with the saying "Wife of Michael Post". That's not right, and it goes to show what's wrong with this.
I've read part of the FG script written by Captain Mauzner, complete idiot, and it is awful.
"I need money, James. I need it now."
Completely awful bloke. Didn't read up a lot on Edie, made this as a "party movie". There are lots of party scenes, a romance with "Danny Quinn" who is pretty much Bob Dylan (he did the smart thing of threatening to sue, staying out of this film.) It also says her father abandonded her, so with no where to turn, she becomes Warhol friends and has drugs and all these great little parties, running down the street, getting drunk. That's what the script is, and that's not what happened.
