Tommy Lee Jones sues Paramount for $10M
Tommy Lee Jones apparently didn’t get enough of a cut from No Country for Old Men, suing Paramount Pictures for more than $10 million, the AP reports. The 61-year-old actor says he was promised “significant box-office bonuses” and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on to make more than $160 million.
He also claims he had expenses wrongly deducted and did not get a contract with known errors corrected before the movie was made. That’s what he gets for taking a reduced fee upfront to begin with. He’s too old to not get all those paydays.
