LOS ANGELES — Twentieth Century Fox Film says it is cancelling the studio’s planned movie based on Jeffrey Toobin’s Patricia Hearst book \u201cAmerican Heiress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toobin’s non-fiction book chronicled the saga of Hearst’s kidnapping by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974 and her eventual bank robbery conviction with the radical group.<\/p>\n

The studio announced the decision late Thursday after Hearst earlier in the day issued a lengthy statement condemning the project and Toobin’s book, which she described as victim blaming and an attempt to \u201crewrite history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox representatives declined to comment on whether the decision to cancel production was related to Hearst’s statement.<\/p>\n

As of December, \u201cLogan\u201d director James Mangold had been set to helm the adaptation with Elle Fanning in talks to play Hearst.<\/p>\n

Toobin did not immediately respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
