Tommy Lee Jones is suing the producers of No Country for Old Men.
Lee Jones is asking for more $10 million in paperwork filed with a court in California. Lee Jones claims he accepted a lower fee on the understanding Paramount Pictures would pay "significant bonuses" if the movie was successful.
The lawsuit also says that errors in Lee Jones’s contract for the Coen brother’s film were not corrected when requested.
The film company has made no comment on the allegations.
I would have thought that Tommy Lee Jones was an experienced Hollywood player who would not agree to anything unless the words "gross profits" appeared in the contract.
