A four-minute trailer for Marshawn Lynch’s biopic, "Family First: The Marshawn Lynch Story," exploded on the Internet on Tuesday. Lynch apparently isn’t pleased with the cinematic quality of the film.
A source told TMZ Sports that Lynch expected it to have the look of a big-budget Hollywood production, and until it does, he doesn’t want the film released.

"I've known Marshawn his whole life. All of the sudden he's mad at me and now doesn't want the film to see the light of day,” the film's director, Mario Bobino, told TMZ. “I’m upset by this because he fully committed to see the project through and now he wants out."
Bobino reportedly met with Lynch’s representatives Wednesday and agreed to take the trailer offline until the desired changes are made. Bobino said the movie will be released “no matter what,” adding Lynch’s family members are also being harmed by his actions.
"I'm just upset and disappointed in Marshawn,” Bobino told TMZ. “Why are you afraid for the world to know who you really are? By blocking the film, it screws his mom and brother. Get out of that shell, dude."
