Tommy Lee Jones sues over No Country non-payment

2 months ago 08th Sep 12:01

Actor Tommy Lee Jones has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the studio bosses behind No Country For Old Men over unpaid fees.

The veteran star claims Paramount Pictures executives promised him "significant box-office bonuses" - but failed to pay up after the Oscar-winning movie grossed an estimated $159 million worldwide.

According to website TMZ.com, Jones agreed to take a reduced upfront fee for the role of Sheriff Ed Tom Bell on the condition of the bonuses.

Paramount Pictures heads have yet to comment on the legal action.

I think it's a damn shame that Paramount did this to such a great actor! Shame on you Paramount.
