Crazy Diamond movie stopped by Waters?

Post by Wolfpack »

On Amazon, in the customer reviews of the book 'Syd Barrett: Crazy Diamond: The Dawn Of Pink Floyd', Joseph Morris "Joe Morris" wrote on August 22, 2008:
The revised edition talks about Syd's funeral and the news on Syd in recent years (that he might've gone to visit Abbey Road, that Roger Waters stopped the Crazy Diamond film being made, although a script was done for it; that Syd befriended the late Bernard White)

What was Waters's influence in stopping the movie? Why did he stop it and why did he succeed?
