Eva Green awarded $1 million in lawsuit over failed film.

Actress Eva Green has won a $1 million fee in a lawsuit against White Lantern Films and SMC Specialty Finance over the scrapped sci-fi movie A Patriot. Green argued that she signed a "pay or play" contract and should be compensated even though the project was never made. The judge dismissed a counterclaim that alleged Green breached contract and ruined the project through "excessive creative and financial demands." Green criticized media outlets for misrepresenting her "desire to make the best possible film" as "female hysteria."

Eva Green emerges victorious in court battle over failed film fee.

Producers of the sci-fi film A Patriot, White Lantern Film and SMC Speciality Finance, are considering an appeal after losing a high court case against actress Eva Green over the collapse of the project. Green claimed she was entitled to a $1M fee she agreed to at the outset of the project, arguing that since she had a “pay or play” contract she was owed the money regardless of the film’s collapse before cameras rolled. The producers alleged that Green's conduct was unreasonable and in breach of her contractual obligations, but the court ruled in Green's favor. The producers criticized Green's suggestion that the legal action was "motivated by or represented gender-based bullying," calling her claims "completely unwarranted."
