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.

Green criticized media outlets for misrepresenting her "desire to make the best possible film" as "female hysteria."
Actress Eva Green has been awarded $1 million by a British court in a dispute over the collapse of a film project she feared was destined to become a "B movie" that could ruin her career. The producers of "A Patriot" portrayed the French actor as a diva, but the judge deemed the case "relatively straightforward" and awarded Green the fee she had been promised for the production that folded in 2019. Green said her professional reputation had been upheld after she stood up to a small group of rich men who employed "bully-boy tactics" to use her as a scapegoat for their own failures.
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."
