Now, a judge has set a date to determine if the film will temporarily be blocked. Page Six reports that both parties will appear in court Sept. 29 to address Brown’s claims that the film portrays him in a false light as a neglectful father. 

Brown is seeking to have the film permanently stopped and $2 million in damages, up from the original $1 million demand.
