More to that story.

Penn wanted to do his movie much earlier, but at the urging of Krakauer, who knew them well by then, he promised that he would only do it with the McCandless familys' approval. For a long time they resisted, not wanting their son to be further turned into a freak show started by the book.

Years later, they relented to Penn when they got wind that somebody else was going to do a movie -- somebody they didn't know and who never talked to them. They got scared, so told Penn to get busy.

If Penn was interfering with the other production, it was probably to protect his long-term interest and investment with the family, and also partly to protect the family from "unauthorized" intrusion.
