Read our privacy policy Eva Green is due to appear at the High Court in a legal battle over the demise of a £4m film project, with texts published in court papers ahead of the trial revealing that she called the executive producer of the movie a “devious sociopath” and “pure vomit”. Green, who was both an actor and executive producer on the project, has claimed she is entitled to be paid her fee in the event that the production was cancelled under a so-called “pay or play” provision. White Lantern Films is defending the case and bringing a counter claim against Green, alleging she repeatedly made “unreasonable demands” and undermined the film’s production.
