It was previously reported that Gabby's mother released a statement shared by The AWARE Foundation, saying the family doesn't approve of the film.
"We thought our followers should know that the Lifetime movie on Gabby Petito has no connection to the Petito family nor did they give their approval," the statement shared by the foundation reads.
"Lifetime took it upon themselves to make the movie."
The film, with a working title of "The Gabby Petito Story," was announced by A&E on May 5 as part of Lifetime's Stop Violence Against Women initiative.
It is set to premiere later this year, according to A&E.
The new photos and news surrounding the film comes as the contents of Brian Laundrie's notebook were revealed on Friday by his family's lawyer, Steven Bertolino.
"Today the Petito family attorney, Patrick Reilly, and myself met with the FBI in Tampa to sort through and take possession of the personal items that belonged to Gabby and Brian," Bertolino told Fox News Digital on Friday.
"As part of this return of property in FBI custody I was given Brian’s notebook and I have turned [the] same over to Chris and Roberta Laundrie."
