Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has filed a lawsuit against an Illinois filmmaker he claims was hired to document the band's concerts and studio sessions, but delivered shoddy work.
According to NME.com, Corgan's suit claims Lester Cohn's work wasn't up to snuff, and that the filmmaker's holding the footage hostage until he's paid for his time.
Corgan's suit seeks more than $100,000 in damages. Cohn was hired from 2003 to 2005, to document the band's return, but Corgan insists the end result was "completely unsatisfactory and not completed in a professional, workmanlike manner in accordance with the standards of a music filmmaker."
