Graham upset about film takeover

Boogie Nights star Heather Graham fears an over-zealous producer will ruin the movie experience which led to her finding romance - by taking over the project.

The actress met boyfriend Yaniv Raz on the set of Son of Mourning when he directed her into his arms - and the couple is blissfully happy.

But there are storm clouds on the horizon - their film together has been nabbed by a movie executive, who is planning an overhaul.

Disgruntled Graham says, "Yaniv wrote and directed the film but the producer kind of took it over three quarters of the way through and now I think that maybe he's gonna screw it up.

"First of all, it's my boyfriend's movie, secondly he's very talented and I saw it and it was really good. I think the producer is like a frustrated writer/director, so he wasn't brave enough to actually do his own movie so he just took over my boyfriend's movie, so it's really sad.

"Usually the producer chooses the director he believes in and supports his vision. Yaniv is devastated."

The film features former The Sopranos co-stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Lorraine Bracco, and is currently listed as being in post-production. There's no official release date.
