Tommy Lee Jones seeks $10M in 'No Country' lawsuit Sat Sep 6, 5:16 PM
ET
SAN ANTONIO - Tommy Lee Jones is suing the makers of "No Country for
Old Men" for more than $10 million that the Oscar-winning actor claims
he is owed for starring in the 2007 hit crime thriller.
The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones 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.
The movie, which is set in Texas and based on a critically acclaimed
Cormac McCarthy novel, garnered four Academy Awards, including "Best
Picture."
A message left for Paramount Pictures on Saturday was not immediately
returned. Jones declined to comment through his publicist, Jennifer
Allen, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
"The paperwork stands for itself," Allen said.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Bexar County in San Antonio. N.M.
Classics, Inc., a Paramount subsidiary, is also named in the lawsuit.
Jones, who played Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in the film, claims he was not
paid promised bonuses and had expenses wrongly deducted. The suit says
Jones was paid a reduced upfront fee in joining the film, and that his
contract had known errors not corrected before the movie was made.
Jones, 61, is asking that an auditor be named to review financial
records to determine how much he should be paid.
