A lengthy legal dispute over a never-made film starring French actress Eva Green reached London’s High Court. | AFP
Green filed her lawsuit saying she owed the fee under a “pay or play” contract clause. She is also seeking reimbursement of her legal costs.
The actress “wanted the film to be made, she bent over backwards to get this done,” Cullen said, calling it a “passion project” for which she was an executive producer. A lawyer for White Lantern, Max Mallin, said Green had shown a “vitriolic aversion” to production plans and was “increasingly reluctant to be involved.”“We have got a critical split between the expectation of Eva Green and the film she wanted to make, and what the budget could afford,” he told the court.
In them, Green calls the film’s executive producer Jake Seal a “devious psychopath” and production manager Terry Bird a “moron.”
