Did he? I missed all this news. Googling now I only see that Simmons said he didn't give permission and didn't want to be involved when they tried, but didn't see him try to shut it down.

I'm curious to hear if he really wanted it stopped. It's tough to understand his tone in his quote, but it feels slimy that they released the short anyway.

No, the biopic is going to be something else.

FTA:

The biopic follows an unrelated short film about Simmons from director and writer Jake Lewis.

Wow. That had much more depth than I was expecting.
