Vicky Cornell, the widow of Chris Cornell, is setting the record straight on an IMDb page that surfaced recently claiming new information regarding a new Chris Cornell documentary.

Vicky Cornell took to Twitter to say the page for the film called Like a Stone is "a spoof IMDb page by trolls and haters who have so much time on their hands to create fake pages - a mockery. I'm sorry to the fans who were misled." She would later tweet in the comments of her original tweet, "What kind people though spend time to make it up go to such lengths to create an imdb page, write up synopsis, cast the actors? Clearly sick, obsessed and crazy..."

The fake IMDb page listed actor Lauchlin MacDonald as playing the late Cornell, Vicky Cornell was to played by Drena De Niro, the adopted daughter of Robert De Niro. The film also touted archival footage of both Soundgarden and Audioslave, as well as footage of Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

The real Chris Cornell film, a documentary, was announced by Variety back in February. Brad Pitt and Peter Berg's production company, Film 45, is behind the film.
