The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst is a six-part documentary about the life of the self-admitted murderer and is scheduled to premiere on February 8 on HBO.

As the premier at the Sundance Film Festival of the first episode of a new six-part HBO series documenting the life of self-admitted murderer Robert Durst approached, his brother has taken more drastic measures to try and prevent its airing. Fearing how the upcoming show will portray his family, primarily his father Seymour Durst, who granted Douglas, not Robert, control of the family company in 1994, Douglas, 70, has asked for an emergency court order to stop the show from airing.

The emergency filing by Douglas claims the documentary may contain depositions of Robert and his second wife that are confidential.

Robert remains the sole suspect in the 1982 murder of his first wife, Kathleen McCormack, and was also questions in the 2000 killing of his friend Susan Berman. No charges were ever brought against Robert for either of these killings.

Robert moved to Galveston, Texas, and tried to hide in the shadows by cross dressing, but he was eventually charged with murder after admitting to dismembering and disposing of the body of his friend and neighbor, Morris Black. However, Robert was acquitted of the murder by claiming it was self-defense.

On February 8, “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” a six-part documentary, is planned to start airing on HBO. However, the New York Times reports that the first episode premiers Tuesday, January 27, in Utah at the Sundance Film Festival.

According to the Post, in 2006 Robert accepted $65 million in exchange for relinquishing his claims to the Durst family fortune; another condition of the agreement was the deposition remaining confidential, and no one in the family speaking with media about the settlement.
