Billy Joel denounced an unauthorized biopic titled "Billy & Me" that chronicles his early years, stating through his representatives that he has not authorized the film and that proceeding without his life rights would be legally and professionally misguided. Director John Ottman and producer Adam Ripp countered that the film is told from the perspective of Joel's former manager Irwin Mazur and focuses on cover songs from Joel's early career, with production set to begin fall 2026.
